Sungjin Geotech, an affiliate of the South Korean steel major Posco is keen on developing “200 MW and above” of solar power projects in Tamil Nadu. This was stated by Alex Kim, who represented Sungjin at a meeting that took place here of prospective solar power developers and that Tamil Nadu electricity utility, TANGEDCO.

Speaking to Business Line on the sidelines of the meeting, Kim said that Sungjin had been “looking for opportunities for solar projects in Tamil Nadu” for the last two-three years, but things were clear only now.

Asked if Sungjin would own all the 200 MW of solar power projects or would create a park in which other developers could put up their own projects, Kim said the company was open to all options.

Tata Power is another prospective solar investor in Tamil Nadu. Among those who participated in the investor-Tangedco meeting was Krishnan Rajagopalan, Manager (Strategy & Business Development). Krishnan later told Business Line that Tata Power was examining the prospect of putting up a solar project in the State.

There were representatives at the meeting from Mytrah, GMR, Kiran Energy, SunEdison, Mahindra Cleantech and Enfinity.
