Punjab to get 1200 MW power from its renewable sources

State Science and Technology Minister Bikram Singh Majithia today said Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) has been working hard to contribute 1,200 MW power to PSEB in next two years.

While addressing a press conference here, he said PEDA has took a major leap forward in its endeavour to put up renewable energy projects in the state and it has set up Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Power Projects in MW scale in the state.

He said that four companies including Moser Baer, PQES Inc, India Bulls Electricity and Azure Power have been shortlisted for 17 MW SPV projects to be set up on Build-Own-Operated basis at various locations in the state.

These projects would be completed and commissioned by December 2009 and power generated would be fed into the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) grid.
