Production of 105 MW of power envisaged
As part of the government’s plan to strengthen the renewable energy sector, Kasaragod district will have the largest solar power project in the State.
The second phase of the project would be inaugurated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on January 23, said Augustine Thomas, CEO, Renewable Power Corporation of Kerala Limited (RPCKL), here. He said that the second phase, which would generate 50 MW of power, was established on 250 acres at Kommangala in Paivalike in the district. The project was being implemented as part of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, a Central project aimed at maximising generation of renewable energy to meet the growing demand for electricity. The project envisaged a third stage with another solar power plant being established by utilising the space in the paddy fields in the area, he said.
The size is being brought down from 2,500MW to 1,800MW. While earlier the projects were to be located at the solar park in Koppal district of Karnataka, SECI has now identified three other spots in the same state where the projects, once they are auctioned, can be built.
