Madhya Pradesh will house world’s largest 750 Mega Watt solar power station in Rewa district, state’s energy minister Rajendra Shukla said. “Global tenders for commissioning the solar power station in an area over 1,500 hectares will be invited shortly.”
The project will come up on barren government land and one MW power generation needs two hectares tract of land.
He said that if all goes well, the plant will start generating solar energy by March 2017. The project – Rewa Ultra Mega Solar, is a joint venture of Solar Energy Corporation of India and MP Urja Vikas Nigam, where in both parties have 50 per cent stake, he added.
