ADANI SETS NEW SOLAR RECORD WITH MAMMOTH 648 MW PLANT IN KAMUDHI
The power plant construction began when rumours of Adani tax evasion were afloat. The completion of this project has given India’s renewable sector an excellent boost. Because of the continuous operation of the project, CO2 emissions have been reduced drastically in areas around the Ramanathapuram district. The region has also experienced a reduction in the pollution level.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE KAMUTHI SOLAR POWER PLANT The Adani solar power plant at Kamuthi is one of the largest single-location solar plants in the world. It was commissioned by the Adani Group in 2015, and since then, it has consistently lit up over 2,65,000 houses in the Ramanathapuram district. During a recent visit to the plant, the plant head, R Aravamudhan, said the project was built with an investment of INR 45.5 billion in 2015.
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS MADE When the plant was installed, the solar panels were functioning on polycrystalline modules, which were available then. However, with time, they have adopted new technologies for around 25 MW of renewable energy capacity on a pilot basis. The new technology includes 10 MW of thin film technology, 1.2 MW of bifacial module technology, 5 MW of seasonal tilt technology, and 8.75 MW of single-axis tracking technology.
