GH2 Solar, a clean energy and green hydrogen engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, has announced plans to develop a 100 MW solar power project integrated with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The project will be set up under the independent power producer (IPP) model with an estimated investment of Rs 400 crore to Rs 450 crore.
The proposed facility will combine 100 MW of solar capacity with a 100 MW/60 MWh BESS. The storage system will be configured across two units of 50 MW/30 MWh each. The site has been selected in a high solar irradiation zone to support consistent energy generation throughout the year. Commissioning timelines remain contingent on regulatory approvals.
The project is structured to supply round-the-clock renewable energy, with a focus on industrial users and green hydrogen production. Upon commissioning, the plant is expected to generate around 16 crore units of electricity annually, supporting decarbonisation in energy-intensive industries.

Author: PPD Team Date: December 19, 2024 The Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon offshore wind farm extension projects in Norfolk, UK, will be developed under a joint ownership structure, subject to regulatory approval. This will streamline the development process by combining the two projects into a single legal entity. Development consent for both projects was granted in April 2024 under a unified application, allowing for joint or sequential development approaches. The new ownership structure facilitates cost-effective…
Author: PPD Team Date: February 4, 2025 Solex Energy Limited has successfully commissioned an 800 MW high-speed solar module manufacturing line in Surat, Gujarat. The facility produces n-Type TOPCon rectangular cell-based Tapi-R series modules, with capacities ranging from 585 Wp to 625 Wp. This production line operates 30% faster than other Indian facilities, increasing output efficiency and reducing lead times. Equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), the facility ensures enhanced quality…
Author: PPD Team Date: November 6, 2024 India is overhauling its electricity demand forecasting approach to better align generation capacity with actual needs and support grid stability amid growing clean energy volumes. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is collaborating with weather agencies for enhanced environmental data and plans to increase forecast frequency, transitioning from assessments every five years to a two-year and eventually annual schedule, according to Chairperson Ghanshyam Prasad. Rising usage of intermittent solar…
