INDIA. ENEL. RECENT TENDER FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC PLANT IN RAJASTHAN.
ENEL Green Power has been awarded, through its subsidiary EGP India, a 25-year energy supply contract for a 420 MW solar project in the framework of a national tender launched by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for a total of about 2000 MW. With a planned investment of about 180 million dollars, the photovoltaic plant in Rajasthan will generate over 750 GWh of renewable energy per year. It will be possible to reduce climate-changing emissions of about 681,600 tons of carbon dioxide.
The launch of the tender by SECI is part of the Indian Government’s policy strongly oriented to the reduction of energy dependence on hydrocarbons and the achievement, by 2022, of ambitious targets for the production of energy from renewable sources, divided as follows: 100 GW from solar energy; 60 GW from wind energy; 10 GW from biomass and 5 GW from mini-hydroelectric.
