Pune, India, -based solar EPC provider Enrich Energy (EEPL) is commissioning a 5 megawatt solar photovoltaic power project as part of Phase-II, batch-1 of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
According to a statement, the project sited at Karajgi in Solapur district is the first in Maharashtra that Solar Energy Commission of India (SECI) and Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) are commissioning in the state under JNNSM Phase-II Batch-I policy.
EEPL handled engineering, procurement and construction of the project for Sunil Hi Tech.
The project was synchronized with the grid on June 26 at 132/33 KV Karajgi substation.
The plant is expected to generate 8.5 million units of electricity each year and power more than 5,000 homes. It would also prevent emission of more than 7,650 metric tons of greenhouse gases each year.
