ReNew has inaugurated a 1.3 GWp solar project in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district, launched by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma. Spread across 3,500 acres, the plant will generate 2,490 million units of electricity annually, sufficient to power nearly 5 lakh (500,000) households across the state.
A key highlight of the project is its strong focus on indigenous manufacturing, with nearly 90% of the solar panels sourced from ReNew’s Jaipur facility, supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The electricity will be supplied to Rajasthan consumers at a competitive tariff of ₹2.18 per kWh. In addition to clean energy generation, the project is expected to offset around 2.3 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually, based on an emission factor of 936g CO₂ per unit.
The project also offers significant socio-economic benefits to local communities. Landowners in the area will receive a fixed income over 25 years through land lease agreements for previously uncultivated land. This initiative not only supports renewable energy but also fosters rural economic development.
Minister Pralhad Joshi emphasized the project’s role in advancing India’s self-reliance in renewable energy, stating, “The inauguration of this nearly 1.3 GWp solar site in Jaisalmer, built entirely with Made-in-India modules—90% of which are manufactured in Rajasthan—is a prime example of contributing to Atmanirbhar Bharat [self-reliant India].” Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma echoed this sentiment, highlighting the state’s dedication to sustainable development and energy self-sufficiency.
