What is its specialty
This solar park consists of 3 solar generating units of 250–250 MW each on 500 hectares of land. This project will reduce carbon emissions equivalent to about 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. It will supply 24 percent of its total power to Delhi Metro, while the remaining 76 percent will be supplied to the state electricity distribution companies (discoms) of Madhya Pradesh.
Power rate is low
The Rewa project increased by Rs 0.05 per unit for 15 years to Rs 2.97 per unit in the first year and 3.30 for a period of 25 years, compared to the rate of around Rs 4.50 per unit of the then existing solar project in early 2017. Achieved historical results with a level rate of Rs per unit. This solar park is called Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL) is a joint venture company of Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (MPUVN) and Central Public Sector Unit Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). RUMSL has been provided with central financial assistance of Rs 138 crore for the development of this solar park.
After the park was developed, RUMSL selected Mahindra Renewables Private Limited, ACME Jaipur Solar Power Private Limited and Rinson Clean Energy Private Limited through reverse auction to construct three 250 MW solar generating units inside the park. .
