U.S.-based Eleris Energy Ltd is keen to invest around $8 billion in the country’s solar and integrated LNG gas-fired power sector. The company intends to implement a total of 2,200 MW of grid-connected solar power projects under three separate projects across the country. When implemented, these renewable energy projects will be the biggest in the country and among the leading projects of its kind in the world.
