India gets a lot of sunshine and hence the 2.8GW figure might just be a conservative estimate.

More info at http://www.csp-world.com/news/20121010/00508/reliance-power-gets-more-funds-its-100-mw-concentrated-solar-power-plant

Anyway this would be a big achievement and i wish they expand more .

Also, Its CSP.

273 GWh.

I bet that danged decimal point has been wandering around again….

Let say the 125MWh array produced energy for 5 hours a day for 200 days a year..

That would be 125 x 5 x 200, or 125 GWh per year.

Just wonder where these numbers come from….

Can you tell me in which part of India ths CSP plant is located? There are huge deserts in India, with days of high solar radiation, and the solar CSP energy of these parts in INdia are enough to produce energy for whole asia, for almost 2 billion years, till our sun will run out of helium and hydrogen fuel for its fusion reactions. . Any scientist knows that I am telling the truth now and it is sad we don’t use this option for green, clean energy on Earth and stop carbon emission and dirty fuels for energy.
