Belectric Partners with Astonfield on a Solar Power Plant in India

Photovoltaic (PV) system integrator Belectric has reached an agreement with Astonfield Renewable Resources for executing the latter’s solar power plant of 5 MW capacity in Osiyan, Rajasthan.

This is one among numerous Astonfield Renewable Resources plants likely to be approved as per the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission’s Migration Phase and is likely to come online during FY2010-11. Already, Belectric has completed site engineering and designs on the plant. Construction on the plant is likely to commence soon after Migration approval.

Belectric has more than 75 commissioned power plant facilities in Europe. Apart from plant commissioning, design and construction, Belectric will offer operations and maintenance (O&M) services for this plant. This power plant is likely to be commissioned by Belectric through the National Solar Mission of India. The plant will be located in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur District. For building a surplus 20 MW capacity in the future, land area of 185 acres has also been secured. The plant is likely to generate more than 100 jobs and has the capability to power around 13,000 homes.
