North Delhi Power Ltd (NDPL), a joint venture of Tata Power with the Delhi government, has commissioned a solar power plant installed by Tata BP Solar.
It consists of more than 5,500 solar photovoltaic panels made of crystalline silicon. These absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity, to be directly fed into NDPL’s main grid line. NDPL has planned a three-fold initiative to promote solar power generation over the next three to four years. This includes setting up grid-interactive solar PV systems on the roofs of 56 of its grid substations in its network of North and Northwest Delhi, with a cumulative capacity of three megawatts.
Takeaway: Solar and green opportunities exist across India today, joint sector opportunities such as this one involving the government should not be ignored
