New Fortum Solar Power Plant in Jodhpur, India\u2019s first Women-Governed Power Plant, Full-Load Power Generation at Chhabra\u2014Rajasthan breaks all its Previous Records\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n With its newfound energy potential Rajasthan is all set to flaunt its power generation capacity. Both Rajasthan and Gujarat contribute 50% of the total solar production in India. However, until 2015, the state was using just 0.51% of its total power potential. It won\u2019t happen anymore. The state has made amendments in its existing energy structure to achieve positive results. Here\u2019s how they\u2019ve set an example.<\/p>\n Fortum\u2014a world acclaimed giant in power product has commenced its operations in Jodhpur\u2019s Bhaadla Solar Energy Park. This new energy plant has 70-Megawatt capacity. If the experts are to be believed, this is Fortum\u2019s third largest solar energy plant. They\u2019re already operating two more plants in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n The company won tender for this project in January 2016 through a government-organized auction. They\u2019ve completed this project before the preset deadline. With its completion, Fortum\u2019s current energy production capacity is 85-Megawatts. The power generated from this plant will be sold to public sector at fixed tariff for 25 years.<\/p>\n\n
