NTPC has increased its renewable energy investments in recent years and aims to have over 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, which is 50% of its total generation capacity. The project is expected to be commissioned by October 2023, with the first consignment arriving in Q1 of 2023
New Delhi: Solar tracker provider Nexttracker on Tuesday said it has signed an agreement with Amara Raja Power Systems to supply solar trackers for state-owned NTPC Ltd's 306 MW Nokh solar project.
Amara Raja is executing this 306-megawatt peak (MWp) project as a ground-mounted utility-scale power plant spread over 1,850 hectares (equivalent to approximately 3,500 contiguous football fields) in Rajasthan.
The announcement follows an upward trend for deployment of combined solar trackers with bifacial module technology in India due to falling module prices and increasing tracker design efficiencies.
"Nextracker's optimized bifacial tracker design is proven to increase energy yield, as validated by a third-party test laboratory in this seminal bifacial and solar tracker white paper," the company said.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Nektracker, a global leader in solar tracker technology, on the landmark Nokh Solar Project,” said Dwarkanadha Reddy, Business Head, Projects Division, Amara Raja Power Systems.
He further added, “We are proud to offer this advanced technology to NTPC, and Nextracker is the right local partner to help us achieve a low lifetime cost of energy (LCOE) of the plant due to its bifacial optimized design "
"We are grateful for this opportunity to partner with Amara Raja and India's largest electric public sector utility, NTPC Limited," said Dan Sugar, Founder and CEO of Nextracker.
NTPC has increased its renewable energy investments in recent years and aims to have over 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, which is 50% of its total generation capacity. The project is expected to be commissioned by October 2023, with the first consignment arriving in the first quarter of 2023.
After achieving its 14 GW target for 2022 in December 2021, Rajasthan has the highest installed renewable energy capacity (19.5 GW) among Indian states.
