Meeco to build 7MW open access PV project in India

4 April: meeco will construct and operate a 7MW ground-mounted open access solar power plant in the Solapur district of Maharashtra, India.

Power will be sold via a PPA to commercial clients.

“Open Access within the Indian state Maharashtra ensures to generate energy at a different site than it will actually be consumed,” said Tarun Munjal, director of meeco India. “This also includes the benefit to be more flexible. We can perfectly utilise available free spaces to install clean energy solutions. For a fee to the grid operator the generated energy can be fed into the grid and can be consumed at another place, where the final PPA client operates. Long term PPAs in combination with Open Access enables private Maharashtrian enterprises to profit from a flexible, eco-friendly, reliable and cost-efficient energy supply. We expect to conclude sufficient PPAs with industrial energy clients within the next 9-12 months to utilise the entire power output of the 7MWp sun2fix facility.”
