Vikram Solar, a module manufacturer and solar EPC player, has commissioned a 200 MW solar power project for the Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO).

The plant is situated in Anatapuramu district, Andhra Pradesh and is segregated into two blocks of 100 MW each for better management and higher efficiency.

The solar project will power nearly 1,50,000 homes once connected to the grid.

The solar project is spread across 1,000 acre (500 acre each for 100 MW) of undulated rocky terrain, and power will be evacuated at 33 kV level in two pooling substations of 33/220 KV capacity, which will further evacuate power to 220/400 kV main substation.

A total of 8,48,680 modules, ranging from 320 Wp to 330 Wp, have been installed. The project is expected to produce 446 MU energy annually. It will reduce 210 tonne of CO2 emissions in a year.

The company will also carry out operation and maintenance (O&M) of the plant for five years from the date of commissioning.
