Between April and July 2020, EDEN Renewables India has won two 450 MWp solar PV projects during the last tenders organized by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI VIII and SECI IX). It also won one 450 MWp solar PV project during the last tender organized by the National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC), for which a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) has been signed with NHPC at the end of August 2020. It added that with a planned production of more than 2,300 GWh per year, these solar PV plants will generate the energy required to meet the annual electricity needs of nearly two million people in India. Constructions are due to start during the first semester of 2021 and commissioning are expected towards the beginning of 2022.

Frédéric Belloy, executive vice president international operations at EDF Renewables, stated: “We are pleased to have been awarded 1,350 MWp of additional solar projects with EDEN Renewables India. These recent successes will reinforce very significantly the footprint of our joint venture with our partner Total Eren. It also highlights the remarkable expertise and track record in solar power activities achieved by EDEN Renewables India. These landmark projects fit perfectly with the EDF Group’s Cap 2030 strategy of doubling its renewable energy net capacity in operation from 28 GW to 50 GW between 2015 and 2030 worldwide. Through our renewable energy developments, we are pleased to contribute to the Indian government’s goal of reaching 220 GW of non-fossil generation by 2022.”
