The project will be the largest single location solar plant and will be on 19000 acres at Sambhar in Rajasthan. The project will be developed in two phases in 7 to 8 years.
In the first phase of the project 1000 MW will be made operational within three years and the remaining 3000 MW will be covered in the next subsequent phases. The First phase will require an investment of 7500 crore rupees. The department of heavy industry will set up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the investment.
The solar photo-voltaic power plant will use PV modules based on crystalline silicon technology.
The plant life is estimated to be 25 years and is expected to supply 6400 million units of energy per year. The plant will help to reduce CO2 emissions by over 4 million tonnes per year.
