The solar power plant has been developed in eight acres of land on the premises of the 220 KV substation. INKEL was awarded the contract to establish the solar power plant last year. Though the contract agreement was to complete the works within 12 months, INKEL, which started the works on July 19, 2021, has completed the installation within seven months. The 3 MW power plant will generate 50 lakh units of power a year. As per the agreement, INKEL will operate the power plant for five years.
