A 4GW solar project has been announced in Rajasthan, India, which, if fully built, would be the world’s largest solar plant.
Although many details of the plan are unclear, Indian officials said they hoped to have the 1GW first phase of the Sambhar Ultra-Mega Green Solar Power Project complete by 2016.
As part of an initiative by the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, the first 1GW phase is being undertaken by a joint venture between electrical equipment manufacturers, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Rajasthan Electronics and Instruments Limited (REIL) and SSL, the Solar Energy Corporation of India, the Power Grid Corporation of India and the government run hydro-electric power plant developer, SJVN.
