“With the commissioning of this plant, L&T Construction has installed 114 MW of utility scale solar PV power plants over the last fiscal,” it said.
The plant, which comprises more than five lakh high output generating thin film technology based solar PV modules and thirteen 3.5 MVA power transformers to generate 40 MW, is spread across 350 acres.
The thin film solar PV modules for the project were procured by RPower, while L&T’s scope of work included design, engineering, procurement and construction of the plant, including construction of a 5 km 33 kV double circuit transmission line, the statement added.
