A 800 MW solar power project to be set up in Bengal on PPA basis

Kolkata: Adding another feather to its cap, West Bengal has received a proposal from a private entity for setting up an 800 MW solar power project, largest in the country, on Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) basis.

Stating this at the 10th Energy Conclave, organised by CII, State Power Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay on Saturday said the project will be set up at an area of 1000 acres, of which 500 acres have been already acquired.

He said the project will be completed in the next two years, but did not disclose the project location.
