The 70 MW Dhubri Solar Power Project has been developed on 330 acres of lease-based land located at Village Khudigaon Pt. II, District Dhubri, Assam, at a project cost of INR 367.44 crore. The project is expected to generate 141.13 million units of electricity in its first year of operation and approximately 3,230 million units cumulatively over a period of 25 years, stated the company.
It further added that the maximum usage charges for the project have been fixed at INR 3.92 per unit, ensuring the supply of affordable and clean power. The generated power will be supplied to Assam Power Distribution Company (APDCL).
The foundation stone of this project was laid by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on March 4, 2024, from Adilabad, Telangana. The project was inaugurated by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma last month. This Project is the first large-scale solar project in the state of Assam and also SJVN’s first operational project in the North Eastern Region, it said.
In addition to strengthening the clean energy portfolio, the project is expected to result in an estimated reduction of approximately 1,58,270 tonnes of carbon emissions. With this, the state’s solar capacity has reached about 680 MW. Assam has a target of achieving 3.5 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030.
