Solar capacity grows over 3 fold to 10,000 Mw in three years

India's solar power generation capacity has crossed 10,000 megawatt (MW), a more than three-time jump in less than three years as government pushes for renewable energy sources to meet galloping demand. The milestone came as NTPC Ltd, India's largest power producer, commissioned a 45 MW solar power project at Bhadla in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. "Bright Future: India has crossed 10,000 MW of Solar power capacity today. More than 3 times increase in less than 3 years," Power, Coal, Mines, New & Renewable Energy Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted. India solar power generation capacity stood at 2,650 MW on May 26, 2014. As much as 14,000 MW (or 14 gigawatt) of solar projects are currently under development and about 6 GW is to be auctioned soon. In 2016, about 4 GW of solar capacity was added, the fastest pace till date. According to power ministry estimates, another 8.8 GW capacity is likely to be added in 2017, including about 1.1 GW of rooftop solar installations. ...

More green energy shrinks transmission projects' timeline

In less than a year, the country's renewable energy capacity has grown 29 per cent, to 50 Gigawatts (Gw). Expansion here and the focus on developing wind and solar power is also shrinking the time frame to set up related transmission networks.At present, thermal power contributes 69 per cent to India's total installed capacity. As the country planned capacity additions in the thermal and hydro power segment, it also allowed transmission companies a longer time-frame. This is now changing."The construction of new lines (for hydro and thermal) might take three to five years, while construction of a new solar photo voltaic (PV) power plant might only take a year or a little more," said Vivek Sharma, director at CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory. Transmission companies are seeing this translate in the orders being placed by clients. "Almost all our clients are working towards reducing the project timelines," said Manish Mohnot, managing director, Kalpataru Power Transmission. This has led .
