Project Overview

India has great potential for renewable energy. However, it is currently still very reliant on fossil fuels to generate energy across the country, releasing huge amounts of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 

Solution Description

Located in the Tumkur district of Karnataka state in Southern India, the Pavagada Solar Park is a large-scale solar project that installed solar PV modules with a 250 MW capacity. This project provides renewable energy to India’s energy grid which is currently dominated by thermal and fossil fuel-based power plants. 

Sustainable Development Goals

4 - Quality Education

50 Training 

sessions held on the project’s technology

7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

496,000 MWh

of energy generated on average per year

8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth

135 jobs

created through project activities

13 - Climate Action

463,000  tCO2e

avoided on average per year through project activities

Impact

Not only does it reduce the release of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, but it also benefits the local economy by employing 135 people with equal pay for both men and women. Employees are also provided with technical training to carry out monitoring and operation functions at the plant.
