Despite its preoccupations with coronavirus vigil, Kerala has maintained its focus on the 1,000-MW Soura solar project. The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has floated bids this week for setting up 150 MW of grid-tied residential rooftop solar project.
“We will not miss the deadline of tapping 200 MW in the first phase by June 2020. This means going ahead with fitting solar panels in select 42,500 rooftops,” A Nassarudeen, nodal officer of the Soura project at the KSEB, told FE. By 2022, the Soura project targets to add 1,000 MW to its grid.
