Could bring down around 15 lakh ton of CO2 per annum
A 750 MW Solar Project was inaugurated and dedicated to the nation by PM Narendra Modi in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh on July 10, 2020. Spread over 500 hectares of land inside a Solar Park which occupies 1500 hectares, the project is made up of three 250 MW solar power generating units.
The Solar Park was developed by the Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL), a Joint Venture Company of Madhya Pradesh UrjaVikas Nigam Limited (MPUVN), and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), a Central Public Sector Undertaking.
The Park’s development was carried out with funding of Rs. 138 crore by RUMSL Central Financial Assistance to RUMSL for development of the Park. RUMSL, by reverse auction, has selected Mahindra Renewables Private Ltd., ACME Jaipur Solar Power Private Ltd., and Arinsun Clean Energy Private Ltd to develop the three solar generating units of 250 MW each within the Solar Park.
The Rewa Solar Project was the first solar project in the country to break the grid parity barrier and will reduce carbon emission equivalent to around 15 lakh ton of CO2 per year.
