With these strongly determined initiatives, India has also become the home of some of the world's largest solar parks, including the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, India's largest and the world's 11th-largest as of 2024, generating 2,245 MW of solar power. India's solar power installed capacity was 94.17 GW AC as of 30 November 2024. [2]
Completed in 2019, the park has a capacity of 2,050 MW. As of April 2021, it is the world's third largest photovoltaic solar park after the 2,245 MW Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan and 2,200 MW Huanghe Hydropower Hainan Solar Park in China. It is the second largest in India.The total project cost was ₹14,800 crore (US$2.1 billion). [5]
In 2014, two plants were tied as largest: Topaz Solar Farm, a PV solar plant at 550 MW AC in central coast area and a second 550-MW plant, the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm located in the far eastern desert region of California.
In August 2016, Tata Power Solar commissioned a 100 MW solar project at the park built over an area of 200 hectares (500 acres). This was the largest solar project commissioned using domestically manufactured solar cells and modules at the time. In May 2018, Azure Power commissioned a 50 MW solar capacity at the park.
When completed, the park will generate 30 gigawatt electricity from both solar panels and wind turbines. It will spread over an area of 72,600 hectares (726 km 2) of waste land. [1] [2] When completed, it will be the biggest hybrid renewable energy park in the world. [1] The 30 GW energy could power 18 million Indian homes. [3]
