Adani Green commissions 390 MW wind-solar hybrid power plant in Jaisalmer – EQ Mag Pro
The new plant, country’s first ever wind and solar hybrid power generation facility, has a PPA with the Solar Energy Corporation of India with tariff at Rs. 2.69 per kWh
AHEJOL, a subsidiary of Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), has commissioned a 390 MW wind-solar hybrid power plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
The new plant, country’s first ever wind and solar hybrid power generation facility, has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) with tariff at Rs. 2.69 per kWh, well below the Average Power Procurement Cost (APPC) at national level, AGEL said in a regulatory filing on May 28.
“With the successful commissioning of this plant, AGEL now has an operational capacity of 5.8 GW. This places AGEL’s total renewable portfolio of 20.4 GW well on track to meet its vision of 45 GW capacity by 2030.”
The hybrid power plant integrated through solar and wind power generation, harnesses the full potential of renewable energy by resolving the intermittency of the generation and provides a more reliable solution to meet the rising power demand.
“Wind-Solar Hybrid energy is an important aspect of our business strategy which aims to meet India’s growing need for green energy,” said Vneet S. Jaain, MD & CEO, Adani Green Energy Ltd. “The commissioning of our hybrid plant is an incremental step towards meeting India’s sustainable energy goals. We are extremely proud of the unrelenting effort our team has put in to deliver India’s first wind-solar hybrid plant. This project is a part of the first construction facility by international banks in Adani Green. It is commendable that the project was successfully executed amidst the uncertainties imposed by the global pandemic.”
