Hotspot For Renewable Projects

Indian renewable energy company Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) recently commissioned a 431 MW DC solar project at Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh. The solar project is spread across 1,635.63 acres of land. TPREL said this is India’s first solar project site to incorporate a combination of single-axis trackers and bi-facial modules.

TPREL said that this integration boosted the efficiency of the entire system by over 15%, enabling peak power supply for extended hours. The project was built by overcoming challenges, including rocky terrain, transmission line readiness, and remote site logistics, the firm said.

Furthermore, In what is probably a first at this scale for a renewable project, Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Uttar Pradesh (UP) are undertaking a new 2 GW solar power project which would help to meet the seasonal electricity demands of both states.

Madhya Pradesh’s peak power demand usually coincides with the Rabi crop season between October and March, while Uttar Pradesh with its Kharif crop between April and September. This seasonal fluctuation in the demand of the states is influenced by the agricultural cycles of the states-UP harvest kharif crops during July to October, and MP cultivates rabi crops between November to March.
