The plant was successfully synchronized with the grid on June  30 this year. This project has been commissioned in a record time of  five months at an estimated cost of Rs 16-17 crore.<\/p>\n<p>It has been implemented under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar  Mission (JNNSM) of Rooftop PV (Photo Voltaic) and Small Solar Power  Generation Programme (RPSSGP) Scheme of the Union ministry of New and  Renewable Energy (MNRE).<\/p>\n<p>The project was executed by AIC Projects GmbH, Germany and KSK  Surya-Hyderabad. REHPL has expressed its gratitude to Rural  Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) for its timely funding of the  project.<\/p>\n<p>To give a boost to solar power generation, Gridco had signed Power  Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with eight solar developers, each with a  capacity of 1 MW. It had also inked an MoU with Indian Renewable Energy  Development Agency (IREDA) to avail generation based incentive (GBI)  under the Union ministry of new &amp; renewable energy (MNRE) through  IREDA under Rooftop Photovoltaic and Small Solar Generation Programme  (RPSSGP) scheme.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, Gridco had also entered into power sale  agreement with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd, a 100 per cent subsidiary  of NTPC Ltd, to avail solar power bundled with equivalent capacity of  thermal power from unallocated share of upcoming NTPC stations under  &#8216;New Solar Projects&#8217; scheme of MNRE. Under the said scheme, 20 MW of  solar power has been allocated to Gridco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following is an excerpt from a report in Business Standard.
