The Indian company Adani Green Energy Limited on Saturday, May 28, commissioned the country's first hybrid wind-solar power plant.
The facility with a capacity of 390 megawatts (MW) was built near the city of Jaisalmer, in the western state of Rajasthan, reports Renewables Now.
As noted, the company won the right to implement the project at an auction held by the state-owned Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). She received a tariff of 2.69 Indian rupees (3.47 US cents) per kWh. According to Adani, this is well below the average cost of purchasing electricity at the national level.
Electricity will be supplied under a 25-year electricity purchase agreement (PPA) from SECI.
With the commissioning of the new facility, the operating capacity of Adani Green Energy reached 5.8 GW. The total portfolio, containing projects at various stages of development, increased to 20.4 GW.
By 2030, the company intends to increase its renewable energy capacity to 45 GW.
