by CM Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday May 17,2016
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday inaugurated a solar power plant spread over 42 acres on the Dera Baba Jaimal Singh (Radha Soami sect) premises here, which the government claimed was the world’s largest single rooftop facility.
The plant has the capacity to produce 11.5MW electricity.
With this, the Rs 139-crore solar energy plant here has become country’s largest, with solar panels spread over 82 acres on eight rooftops of sheds and a capacity to generate 19.5 MW.
The project will generate 27 million units of electricity per annum, enough to cater to the electricity needs of approximately 8,000 households.
A power purchase agreement (PPA) has been signed between the Dera and the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for 25 years.
The first phase (7.5 MW) of this project was allotted in September 2013 and synchronised with the grid in April 2014. Later, the second phase (12 MW) was allotted in February 2015 and synchronised in December 2015.
