Tata Power Solar Systems, a unit of India’s biggest industrial group, has completed a 50MW photovoltaic plant to almost double solar capacity for the country’s National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
Electricity generated at the plant in Rajgarh in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh will power around 90,000 homes, Tata Power Solar said in a statement.
The project will increase NTPC’s solar capacity to 95MW, according to the statement.
The state-controlled utility, which owns 43,000MW of capacity making it India’s largest power generator, plans to develop 1,000 megawatts of renewables by 2017, the statement shows.
