Shimla: Central Electronics Limited has achieved a milestone by energizing 1MW (AC) Solar Power Plant at remote Wadhal village in Shimla District of Himachal Pradesh.
CEL has received an order for design, engineering, supply, installation, commissioning and O&M for 5 years for 1MW (AC) Solar Power Plant from SJVN Limited.
Shri Bholanath Sarkar, CMD , Central Electronics Limited appreciated the dedication and the efforts of CEL’s engineers and officers in achieving the feat.
Manoj Sharma PROS, CEL informed that the work at this location has been a challenge right from the beginning of the project. The plant site is located 3km down from Naini on the NH-5 on tabular land in a valley just above the river Satluj. Transportation of manpower and material was quite challenging due to serpentine rough road, harsh weather conditions and frequent road blockages on NH-5 and nearby roads due to landslides, road expansion works and other reasons. The engineers braved high speed chilling winds during the winter.
Snowfall and heavy rains also hampered the progress of work. The lockdown during the COVID-19 also stopped the work but as soon as restrictions were lifted work started again. The company’s team of engineers worked late hours to ultimately completed the energization of the ground mounted solar power plant in presence of officials of SJVN Ltd. and supplied the power to the 220 kV grid.
