AP already power surplus kada. Why do we need more power?

 

Also, with this, CBN should at least give power to farmers only during day time

This is not completely state government owned if I am not wrong. It is also owned by lot of private companies. Not sure who they sell electricity to.

The Tengger solar park, located in Zhongwei, Ningxia, is currently the largest PV plant in the world in terms of both size and production. Dubbed the ‘Great Wall of Solar’, it covers 1,200km of the 36,700km Tengger desert, occupying 3.2% of the arid region.

The site’s output is 1,547MW of power.

Kamuthi Solar Power Station, India

The Kamuthi solar facility in Tamil Nadu, India, has a total generation capacity of 648MW. Covering 2,500 acres (10 sq km) and consisting of 2.5 million solar panels, the site is estimated to make enough power for 750,000 people.

Completed in September 2016 at a cost of approximately $679m, the station was built in just eight months.

The plant is cleaned every day by a robotic system, which is itself charged by its own solar panels.

Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, China

The Longyangxia solar park has a total capacity of 850MW, sufficient to power 200,000 households.

The site sits on the Tibetan Plateau in northwestern China’s Qinghai province and is operated by State Power Investment Corporation, one of China’s top five power generators.

Phase I was completed in 2013 and Phase II was completed in 2015, with a total construction cost of around 6 billion yuan ($920.84m).

Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park, India

Kurnool solar park covers 5,932.32 acres (24.0072 sq km) in the Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, with a total generating capacity of 1,000MW. Construction costs were around $1bn.

Over four million solar panels were installed in the park, each with a capacity of 315W of 320W.

On sunny days, the site is able to generate more than 8 million kWh of electricity, sufficient to meet virtually the entire electricity demand of the Kurnool district.

Enel Villanueva PV Plant, Mexico

Located in the Mexican state of Coahuila, the photovoltaic (PV) facility comprises over 2.3 million solar panels across 2,400 hectares in the Mexican semiarid region. It will be able to produce more than 1,700GWh per year once fully operational, with completion expected in the second half of 2018.

The Enel Group is investing approximately $650m in the construction of Villanueva. The plant is currently over 41% completed, equivalent to around 310MW.

Tengger Desert Solar Park, China

The Tengger solar park, located in Zhongwei, Ningxia, is currently the largest PV plant in the world in terms of both size and production. Dubbed the ‘Great Wall of Solar’, it covers 1,200km of the 36,700km Tengger desert, occupying 3.2% of the arid region.

The site’s output is 1,547MW of power.

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, UAE

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has a planned capacity of 1,000MW by 2020, and 5,000MW by 2030, which will make it the biggest solar power plant in the world.  Upon completion, it is hoped that the park will reduce over 6.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

PV and concentrated solar power technologies will be used to provide clean energy to residents of Dubai. The site will also include an Innovation Centre, a Research & Development centre, testing facilities and a solar powered water desalination plant.

Bhadla Industrial Solar Park, India

Bhadla solar farm is spread over 45 sq km in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district. Once all four phases of the project are completed, the site will be able to produce 2,255MW of electricity. It is due to become operational by December 2019.

Over a million solar panels have already been installed, though only around 15% of the total park is currently operational.

BK Dosi, managing director of the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited, the main developer of the project, said it will be “the jewel of Rajasthan and the showpiece of India’s solar power programme”.

The project was implemented by the Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Corporation Private Limited (APSPCL), a joint venture of the Solar Energy Corporation of IndiaAndhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation and the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd.[2] The park was built at an investment of around ₹7,000 crore (US$970 million) by solar power developers and the Central and State governments. Solar power developers invested ₹6,000 crore (US$830 million), while the remaining ₹1,000 crore (US$140 million) was funded by APSPCL supported by a ₹200 crore (US$28 million) grant from the Union Government.

KURNOOL: Strong gusts of wind and thunderstorm that hit the district on Sunday night had a devastating effect on the world’s largest solar project at Gani-Shakunala in Kurnool district.

The solar panels, erected by Greenko projects and Softbank, are said to have taken a huge hit and were uprooted by the winds. The extent of damage has been pegged at Rs 2 crore.
