GANDHINAGAR: The Gujarat government, which announced with great fanfare last week a sharp increase in the release of Narmada waters from the Sardar Sarovar dam into the canal, to help farmers downstream, was forced to cut down the amount of water released to about one-third on Monday.
Mumbai-based PLG Power has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd for 40 MW of solar power.
The cost per MW is estimated at Rs 15 crore, while the PPA agreement for 25 years pegs the unit cost (Kwh) at Rs 15 for the first 12 years and Rs 5 for the balance of tenure.
