1. GUJARAT SOLAR PARK - CHARANKA
Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL) is the Nodal Agency for the development of "Solar Park" in Gujarat.
Govt of Gujarat is admired for taking bold and proactive initiative in the Projects of Renewable energy to harness Clean and Green Energy. GPCL commissioned, Asia’s largest "Gujarat Solar Park" to mitigate impact of Climate Change and to protect environment for our future generation, making Solar Sector vibrant and viable not only in our Nation but also across the Globe.
This "Solar Park" is located at village Charanka, District Patan in Gujarat spread across 5,384 acres
of unused land. This integrated "Solar Park" has state of art infrastructure with provision to harness
rain water besides power evacuation at the door steps. Presently of 730 MW Solar Projects have
been commissioned by 36 developers. Further, projects of 20 MW power capacities are under
implementation. Solar Park has also capacity to generate 4.2 MW of Wind Power and already two
Wind Mills, each of 2.1 MW has been commissioned making the Park.
This park was launched on 30.12.2010 and commissioned on 31.12.2011 and formally dedicated to the Nation by Hon'ble Chief Minister on 19.04.2012.
"Gujarat Solar Park" has been one of the most innovative projects in the Solar Energy Sector having large concentration/cluster of Solar Power generating units at single location, thereby reducing cost substantially (40%), and bringing down lower Solar Tariff to pave way for large scale development of Solar Power Projects.
Innovative Park commissioned by GPCL demonstrates its skills in implementation of a high value and complicated Project in short time, in spite of several challenges and complications. The Project has truly contributed in transformation of Solar Power Landscape in the Nation and making India Solar Capital of the World, in its true sense and making Gujarat proud.
