750 MW Solar Park to come up soon

No comments

Amaravati: Energy firms Sprng Energy, Ayana and SoftBank Energy will set up a 750 MW Solar Power Park at NP Kunta in Anantapur district soon. It has been targeted to complete works within 8 to 10 months and start power production from the NP Kunta Solar Power Park.

The State government has already identified land and some extent of land has already been handed over to the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for the proposed solar park.

AP Solar Power Corporation Ltd Managing Director G Adisheshu told The Hans India that as the APDISCOMs entered into an agreement with the NTPC a few days ago, works of solar power park would begin soon. The NTPC has issued LoA to the Sprng Energy, Ayana and SoftBank Energy to begin the works at NP Kunta, officials said.

The public sector giant NTPC has proposed solar park with a capacity of 1000 MW at NP Kunta in Anantapur district. It established 250 MW of solar park under phase- 1 and the remaining (750 MW) has been in pending as the State government rejected tariff rate (Rs 4.60/ unit) proposed by the NTPC.

In the recent auction by the NTPC, Sprng Energy, Ayana and SoftBank Energy have emerged as lowest bidders to set up the 750 MW of solar park in Anantapur.

The Sprng Energy Private Limited quoted a tariff of Rs 2.72 per unit, Ayana Renewables and SoftBank Energy quoted Rs 2.73 per unit each in the auction which concluded in May. Adisheshu said the solar power tariff of Rs 2.72 per unit (without VGF – viability gap funding) could be considered as a reasonable rate in view of apprehensions that the price of solar panels may be increased.

The NTPC has entered into power purchase agreement (PPA) with APDISCOMs recently for procurement of power at a rate of Rs 2.72 per unit. The State government identified 6,907.05 acres in NP Kunta for the solar park and 6,692.97 acres has already been handed over to the NTPC. Common infrastructure works such as approach road and water system works were completed.

The State government has targeted to achieve a total capacity of 4,000 MW of solar power by 2020. “We can reach this target by the end of 2019. Now we have capacity of Rs 1,550 MW of solar power. The works of 400 MW of solar power park at Galiveedu has almost been completed. The Solar Energy Corporation of India is going to issue tenders for another 750 MW of solar power park in the State,” Adisheshu said.

Kempegowda International Airport to be powered by 100 % renewable energy by 2020

No comments

The energy input of Airport is 11 MW per day which will increase up to 20 MW because of two terminals. Already some patches of airport employ renewable solar energy. KIA generates around 3.44MW from solar energy daily. As per the proposed plan, the solar capacity will be enhanced. The total solar energy input would be about 12 MW and will be added in phases. The entire 12 MW would be generated from on-site energy productions. BAIL plans to outsource another 8MW of solar energy from off-site units to meet energy requirements.

BENGALURU: A grand target has been set by Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) for itself. It has aimed to run Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) completely on solar power by 2020. The power demand of Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is 11 MW per day right now. Energy requirements are expected to increase after completion of the second terminal of Airport. The energy input of Airport is 11 MW per day which will increase up to 20 MW because of two terminals. Already some patches of airport employ renewable solar energy. KIA generates around 3.44MW from solar energy daily. As per the proposed plan, the solar capacity will be enhanced. The total solar energy input would be about 12 MW and will be added in phases. The entire 12 MW would be generated from on-site energy productions. BAIL plans to outsource another 8MW of solar energy from off-site units to meet energy requirements.

S Lakshminarayanan, vice president (engineering & maintenance), BIAL told TOI “Currently, solar energy is harnessed from both roof-top and ground-mounted panels. Our aim is to make the airport 100% renewable-energy powered by 2020. We also plan to increase our consumption through on-site and off-site solar power purchase agreements.”BAIL plans to install a solar power plant with a capacity of more than 10 MW at KIA. Already around 3.35 MW plant has been installed at the airport as per the proposed plan. Another 5MW plant is right now on the papers, which soon will become reality. The Cochin International Airport Limited authorities in Kerala are also following BAIL. The CIAL has set up a 12 MW solar power project within the premies of the airport to meet energy needs as per the situation to conserve and manage energy. The steps have been taken by BAIL to make sure that they are not only conserving the energy but also generating it. Explaining how conserving energy is a grey area of energy organization, S. Lakshminarayanan said: “At BIAL, energy conservation efforts have been taken up and implemented. These include installation of LED lights, use of solar power, installation, modification and adoption of energy-efficient fittings and fixtures.
