KPI Green Energy, which secured a 200 MW CTU-connected solar project from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) in August 2023, aims for early completion.
The power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed on March 1, 2024, with a scheduled commercial operation date (SCOD) between May 31, 2025, and November 30, 2025.
Upon completion of the Khavda project, KPI’s operational IPP portfolio will grow from 171 MWp to 411 MWp, marking a significant milestone in renewable energy.
The project will feature an IoT-powered robotic cleaning system that ensures 98% cleaning efficiency, utilizing 550 robots to clean the 240 MWp plant in just three hours. This system is resource-efficient, reducing water usage and offering substantial cost savings over the 25-year lifecycle. The project’s operations will be enhanced by KPI’s Network Operations Center (NOC) for real-time monitoring and decision-making.
