Astonfield & Belectric To Develop 5-MW PV Plant in India
Published: 12. Mai 2010

New Delhi, India -- Astonfield Renewable Resources and Belectric have entered into an agreement for the execution of Astonfield's 5-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic plant in Osiyan, Rajasthan.

The Osiyan project is one of several Astonfield plants expected to be approved under the Migration Phase of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and will be Astonfield's first solar power plant to be commissioned and come online in late in 2010 or early 2011.

Belectric has already completed site designs and engineering on the plant. The construction will begin immediately following Migration approval. The 5-MW solar power plant located in the Jodhpur District of Rajasthan will sit on 30 acres of land. A total of 185 acres has been secured under a long term lease to allow for an additional 20-MW build out in the future. The Osiyan plant is expected to bring over a hundred jobs to the local community.

“Consistent with our strategy to partner with global technology leaders, Astonfield has formalized a tie-up with Belectric to build one of the first utility-scale projects under India’s National Solar Mission. We look forward to working with Belectric in commissioning this first 5MW PV plant in Rajasthan, which will serve as a foundational project in our partnership and in the build out of India’s solar industry,” said Ameet Shah, co-chairman of Astonfield.

In November 2009, the Indian government approved a National Solar Mission, which aims to deploy at least 20 gigawatts (GW) of solar projects by 2020. This strategic initiative is part of the country’s plan to provide power to millions of citizens lacking access to energy sources, as well as to combat climate change. Over the next five years, Titan plans to develop a series of large-scale projects and installations in Andhra Pradesh, India, using Suniva’s technology.

Lanco to build manufacturing plant in India
13 May 2010 | By Syanne Olson | News > Materials


Lanco Group will be building a manufacturing facility totaling 120 ton per annum for polysilicon and 80MWp of ingots and wafers near the Ramdaspur village in the Cuttack district of Orissa, India. The plant will be located near Bhubaneswar and on a site with accessible water and a 220KV power line.

The Orissa government has cleared the project and has approved of a 250 acre SEZ. Water has been allocated for the project by the Orissa State Water Resources Department from the Mahanadi River and power through Gridco.

Lanco has also extended the opportunity for companies to provide requests for quotations for engineering, procurement and construction contract services for the project.

India is all set to generate 1,000 Megawatts (MW) of solar power by 2013, in the first phase of the new solar power projects under Indian governments Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, the Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Farooq Abdullah said here on Sunday.

This programme will place India amongst the solar power harnessing nations, which features countries like Germany, Spain and Japan.

The project is being financed by public agencies including Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) along with Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC).

"A total of 1300 MW will be generated in the first phase, out of which 1000 MW solar power, 500 MW will be photovoltaic 500 MW will be solar thermal, 100 MW individual and 200 MW will be off-grid. This is the first phase. In total phases will be 20,000 MW by 2022," said Abdullah.

Abdullah and Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Power Minister, jointly released the guidelines for the selection of new solar power projects.

The power trading arm of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN), has been appointed as the nodal agency for the sale and purchase of power under the solar mission.

Under this project, 50 percent of the power will be generated through solar photovoltaic cells and the other half will by solar thermal power and NVVN will have the authority to select the solar power plants based on both the technologies.

Shinde said that because of the amalgamation of technologies the overall cost of the generated electricity would be less in the future.

"This will reduce the rate if both are amalgamated and when you find out after amalgamation, the price will come just you see about four to five rupees," said Shinde.

Under the solar mission, the government has set a target of generating 20,000 MW of electricity through solar energy.hinde added, that this would be a major step for India for becoming the leaders in solar power generation.

"This is a step towards encouraging indigenous power generation, and as a mode of encouragement we are giving a mix-up power. The customary power will be implemented fully when in the coming two, three, four years the prices will reduce and there will be smooth power generation," added Shinde.

India currently produces less than 5 MW of solar power every year.

If India is able to achieve its target of 20 Gigawatts (GW) solar power by 2020 then, solar power would be equivalent to one-eighth of India's current installed power base. (ANI)

India to add 100 Mw solar power capacity
BS Reporter / Mumbai August 26, 2010, 1:11 IST

The new and renewable energy ministry has signed power purchase agreements for solar capacity of as much as 100 megawatts to speed up solar power capacity addition in the country.

New and Renewable Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah today said his ministry had received around 300 applications from various companies for the construction of solar projects. The ministry has also sought expressions of interest from companies to construct solar capacity to the tune of 700 Mw. This is a big development in the sector as the country had set up only 7-8 Mw of solar energy last year.

“We have also approved yet another 25 Mw for off-grid power,” said Deepak Gupta, secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Off-grid power would help supply power to areas like villages, border areas and other remote places which are not connected to the solar grid, he added.

The government’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission has recommended the implementation of an installed capacity of 20,000 Mw by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan, in 2022. While this will be implemented in three stages, the first stage would involve setting up 1,100 Mw of grid solar power and 200 Mw capacity of off-grid solar applications utilising both solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies, by March 2013.

Meanwhile, on the controversy over allowing Chinese equipment in the country’s solar power space, Abdullah said he was not against the use of Chinese equipment to build massive solar capacity. “There is good Chinese equipment and bad Chinese equipment. We want to get the best technology to India. However, we are also encouraging domestic manufacturing of equipment,” he added.

The ministry also said that 12,000 Mw of wind power capacity was in the pipeline, and it planned to scale up to 48,000 Mw in another 15-20 years.
