TATA POWER TO BUILD 50 MW SOLAR PLANT IN MADHYA PRADESH JULY 4, 2013 YAHOO FINANCE

TATA POWER TO BUILD 50 MW SOLAR PLANT IN MADHYA PRADESH Bangalore, July 4 (IANS) Leading renewable energy producer Tata Power Solar will build a 50 megawatt (mw) solar power project for the state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) at Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh. "We have won the 50 mw solar photovoltaic project in a competitive bid and will build it at Rajgarh during the next nine months for commissioning in March 2014," company chief executive Ajay Goel said in a statement here Thursday. The project cost is estimated to be Rs.246 crore (Rs.2.46 billion). Around 79 million units in kilowatt per hour (Kwh) of energy generated from the project will be supplied to the state grid through Madhya Pradesh Power Trading Company Ltd. According to the Central Electricity Authority, the state has an annual peak power deficit of 9.6 percent. "The project will demonstrate our core strengths of manufacturing solar modules and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) capability as the criteria for awarding it to us was technical knohow and competitive pricing to execute it on time," Goel said. The project, which doubles NTPC's solar capacity to 100 mw, is a part of its renewable energy plan target of 1,000 mw by 2017."We plan to broaden our generation mix through conventional and non-conventional energy sources to ensure long-term competitiveness and mitigate fuel risk, as we are committed to sustainable development and protect the environment," NTPC director (technical) A.K. Jha said in the statement.As the country's largest power generation utility with a combined capacity of 41 gigawatt (gw), mostly from non-renewable energy sources like coal and gas, NTPC has embarked on generating power through renewable sources in 2010

TATA POWER TO BUILD 50-MEGAWATT SOLAR PLANT FOR NTPC

Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd., a unit of India’s biggest industrial group, won a contract to build a solar plant for electricity producer NTPC Ltd. (NTPC) as utilities and manufacturers boost clean-energy investments to meet targets.

Tata will supply solar panels for the 50-megawatt project and construct the plant at Rajgarh in central Madhya Pradesh state by March, it said today in an e-mailed statement.

India, beset by blackouts as coal-power stations are idled for lack of fuel, plans to install 20,000 megawatts of solar by 2022, up from 1,700 megawatts. The new project may help NTPC meet targets since utilities and industrial energy users are required to get a portion of their electricity from renewables.

NTPC will double its solar capacity with the project. The state-controlled utility, which with 41,000 megawatts of total capacity is India’s largest power generator, plans to develop 1,000 megawatts of renewables by 2017, the statement shows.

Tata Power Solar, formerly known as Tata BP Solar Ltd., makes panels in Bangalore and has built more than 70 megawatts of photovoltaic projects as a contractor, according to the statement.
