They would come up at Sambhar in Rajasthan, Khargoda in Gujarat and Ladakh and Kargil in J&K, said joint secretary in the ministry Tarun Kapoor at Intersolar India conference here. "We have thermal-based UMPPs, but now we are exploring the possibility of setting up mega solar projects. The aim is to bring down the cost of power to nearly Rs 5 per unit," he said.
The government has already commenced ground work on the first solar UMPP in Rajasthan, he said, adding that a joint venture firm will be formed for this project.
Bhel (26 per cent), Solar Energy Corporation (23 per cent), PowerGrid Corporation, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam and Hindustan Salts (16 per cent each) and Rajasthan Electronics and Instruments (REIL) (3 per cent) will be the partners.
"The land will come from over 18,000 acres in possession of Hindustan Salts near the Sambhar Lake," Kapoor said. The project, which is estimated to cost around Rs 30,000 crore, or Rs 7.5 crore per megawatt, will be developed in phases. "The first phase of 1,000 mw would be developed on an EPC basis and is expected to be completed in three years. Tenders will be invited in the next three-four months," Kapoor said.
Some quantity of solar cells and modules for this phase will be sourced from Bhel, which is planning to set up a facility in Maharashtra, Kapoor said.
"We will also be getting viability gap funding for this to the extend of Rs 1,000 crore. But this will taper going forward in the next phases." For the remaining 3,000 mw, the JV firm will issue tenders for 500 mw each, which will be given to developers for set up the units.
"Solar Energy Corporation will be sole authority to sell the power produced from the project. The entire project is expected to be completed in seven years," he said. About the other projects, Kapoor said, "Hindustan Salts has some land in Khargoda and we will start work on it after seeing the success of the first project...may be in the next one year. We have identified cold dessert locations in Ladakh and Kargil too, but we are yet to acquire land." Besides, the government is also in talks with other states to set up similar projects, he added.
