Azure Power has commissioned its largest solar plant with a capacity of 100 MW under the Government’s National Solar Mission policy.
The plant is located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and Azure Power had won the project under the National Solar Mission Phase 2 Batch I bids to supply power to the Solar Energy Corporation of India for 25 years.
“This is the largest capacity project under the NSM Phase-2, where the power is being sold to Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) at ₹ 5.45 a unit with Viability Gap Funding. This is almost a 70 per cent reduction in price of solar power since our first project in 2009,” said Inderpreet Wadhwa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Azure Power.
The 100-MW plant has sourced equipment for 60 MW from India. Azure Power has 142 MW of solar PV projects under the National Solar Mission.
The Jodhpur project was commissioned in less than eight months.
