Power purchase agreement
Rs 15 (about USD 0.29) per kWh for the first 12 years and Rs 5 (about USD 0.10) per kWh from the 13th to 25th year. The national solar policy has fixed tariffs of Rs17 for photovoltaic and Rs15 for solar thermal for 25 years.
About 600 MW were completed prior to the deadline of 28 January 2012 to receive the above tariff. Systems completed after that date are subject to a lower tariff.
Charanka Solar Park
The largest site within the Gujarat Solar Park is being built on a 2,000-hectare (4,900-acre) plot of land near Charanka village in Patan district, northern Gujarat. This hosts about 19 different projects by different developers. On 19 April 2012, a total of 214 megawatts (287,000 hp) had been commissioned. It also became the world's second largest photovoltaic power station. When fully built out, the Charanka Solar Park will host 500 MW of solar power systems using state-of-the-art thin film technology. The investment cost for the Charanka solar park amounts to some US$280 million. Construction began on 3 December 2010. By 2014 221 MW had been installed, and 345 MW by March 2016.
