The Ministry of Power in the Indian state of Kerala has directed the state utility to provide training on grid-connected solar rooftop systems to its field-level employees, in what has been claimed to be a first in India. Meanwhile, a 200MW solar park has also been downgraded to 50MW.

The Indian Institute of Management - Kozhikode (IIM-K) has recommended Kerala’s distribution company (Discom) to set up a solar consultancy division.

The main challenge for the project was a water level variation of 21 metres between summer and monsoon seasons.

The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has issued a request for selection (RfS) for 200MW of grid-connected solar PV in what is the South Indian state’s first utility-scale solar tender for consumer use.
