Azure Power has fully commissioned its 600MW interstate transmission system connected solar project in India.
The site, located in Bikaner in Rajasthan, is the largest solar power array in India that is owned and operated at a single location by any developer and was allocated to Azure by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
Commissioning of the project occurred in separate phases, with the last 100MW being completed this month, Azure said.
The power generated from the project will be supplied to SECI at a tariff of €0.03 per kWh for 25 years, the developer added.
Azure Power managing director and chief executive officer Ranjit Gupta said “It is an incredible way to start the new year. Since this project was initiated around the onset of Covid-19 in India, we faced several challenges amid lockdowns and safety concerns.
“Despite the challenges and while prioritising the health and safety of all our employees and communities, we have managed to deliver high performing assets and are extremely proud of achieving yet another milestone in our journey towards a more resilient and sustainable future.”
Azure Power said it now has 2.5GW of operational solar assets spread across India.
