India to build world’s largest solar power plant in Rajasthan

The government will set up the world’s largest solar power project, having a total generation capacity of 4,000 MW, in Rajasthan. The ultra mega green solar power project, whose idea has been mooted by the Bharath Heavy Industries(BHEL) Ministry, would be set up close to Sambhar Lake and about 75 kilometres from the state capital Jaipur.

.
Being the first project of this scale anywhere in the world, this project is expected to set a trend for large scale solar power development, it added. India, which is a power deficit country, is working on ways to increase contribution from renewables, especially solar, to its total energy mix. The ambitious Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission aims to have about 20,000 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2022.
