Madhya Pradesh I

The Madhya Pradesh I solar park near Surajpur Village in the Shajapur district of Madhya Pradesh is a 200 megawatt (MWDC) photovoltaic power station, which is under construction. It was formerly known as solar park Northwest India I.

It covers an area of 640 acres and supplies about 256.000 people with energy. It is under construction as a fixed tilt mounting structure, using mono PERC solar PV technology. The power plant will be connected to a 400 kV PGCIL Pachora substation. The produced electricity will be taken by 1. M.P. Power Management Company Limited (MPPMCL) and Indian Railways (IR).

India has a target of developing 22000 MW of solar power plants and an additional 8000 MW is expected in local generation, bringing the total to 30000 MW by 2022, which was later increased to 100,000 megawatts.
