Moser Baer Photo Voltaic (MBPV), a wholly owned subsidiary of Moser Baer India, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Rajasthan for setting up of a large Solar Power Project in the State with an estimated generation capacity of 1 ~ 5 MW. The project will be the largest grid-connected solar farm in India and entail an investment of around USD 25 million (Rs 100 crores) at USD 4.5 million per MW. The MoU was signed today at the 'Resurgent Rajasthan' summit at Jaipur between MBPV and Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation (RREC).

The SAARC region has large demand supply imbalances in energy generation capacities, with an increasing need to explore alternate and efficient energy sources. This offers a significant potential to Solar Photo Voltaic as an efficient energy option in the region. "MB PV aims to redefine the paradigms of solar power generation through its world class manufacturing and multi technology capabilities and demonstrate a commercially viable, grid-connected PV energy system in India through this project," said Ravi Khanna, CEO of MBPV. "This project is a pioneering initiative in that direction and we believe that the SAARC region provides huge opportunity for such large sized projects," he added.

Moser Baer is also evaluating various options for setting up large sized solar farms across the SAARC region with strategic tie ups with some of the leading global Solar PV companies and clean energy funds.

Mr Rajeeva Swarup, CMD, RREC, said, "We are happy to host this path defining solar power project by Moser Baer Photo Voltaic in the state of Rajasthan. The State will offer a 'Single Window Service' through the Bureau of Investment Promotion and make best efforts to facilitate approvals required for the Project from the Government agencies. Rajasthan offers significant opportunities for renewable energy projects and also has large natural resources conducive for setting up such non-conventional energy projects in the state."  

Moser Baer Photo Voltaic plans to emerge as a leading technology driven PV equipment manufacturer in the world by implementing a capacity of 500 MW by FY10 through a mix of technologies in the crystalline silicon, concentrator and thin film domain.

The company's photovoltaic equipment manufacturing capacities for crystalline silicon, concentrator and thin film technologies are coming up in an SEZ in Greater Noida.
