India is a tropical country, with 300 clear sunny days in a year. The theoretical solar power reception is about 5 trillion MWh /year. This is far more than the total energy consumption of the country in a year. The daily average solar insolation over most parts of India varies from 4 to 7 kWh /m2. This emphasizes India’s immense scope of securing its energy needs through solar. | | Solar Thermal (Concentrated Solar Power-CSP) Projects | | Entegra is in advanced discussions to undertake CSP Projects in Rajasthan and Gujarat; the two states in India with the highest solar radiation characteristics. The initial capacities of the proposed projects are 10 MW in Rajasthan , the projects can be scaled up to 200 MW. The projects will be first-of-its-kind in the field of CSP based power generation in India. |  |
