<p>Solar solutions provider Statkraft BLP Solar Solutions (<a href="http://statkraftblp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SBSS</a>) has successfully commissioned a 5 MW solar project in Tamil Nadu’s Gummidipoondi town.</p>
<p>The project was developed at the manufacturing facility of SRF, a manufacturer of industrial and specialty intermediates, to meet its energy requirements.</p>
<p>According to the company, the project is one of the largest in-campus solar power projects in the state of Tamil Nadu. The project is estimated to generate 7,500 MWh clean energy annually, Statkraft said in a media release announcing the inauguration.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/india-solar-tender-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mercom’s India Solar Project Tracker</a>, the state of Tamil Nadu is one of the top solar states in India with over 1.7 GW of installed solar capacity. The state also has a strong pipeline of ~2.4 GW pf projects under development.</p>
<p>Commenting on the development, the CEO of Statkraft BLP, Tejpreet Chopra said, “This will further enhance our position as a unique service provider in the solar sector and is another step to contribute to reach India’s renewable energy targets by 2022”.</p>
<p>Statkraft BLP Solar Solutions has previously commissioned several rooftop and ground-mounted projects, including a 5 MW open access solar plant in Karnataka’s Tumkur district.</p>
<p>Statkraft BLP Solar Solutions Private Limited (SBSS) is a joint venture between Norwegian state-owned hydropower and renewable energy company Statkraft and Bharat Light &amp; Power. SBSS was formed to develop solar projects in India with a focus towards serving industrial and commercial customers</p>
<p>According to Statkraft, the company is Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy and has presence in as many as 16 countries.</p>
<p>Policy uncertainties currently surrounding the <a href="https://mercomindia.com/dgad-70-percent-safeguard-imported-solar-cells/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">safeguard</a> and anti-dumping duty in the Indian solar sector is testing the will of foreign companies to invest in India. Mercom is <a href="https://mercomindia.com/indian-solar-installations-market-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forecasting</a> solar installations to decline this year compared to 2017.</p>
