Government-owned lignite mining and power generation company NLC India has commissioned the first phase of a 300 MW solar power project with a capacity of 52.83 MW at Barsingar in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan. The project's part capacity has been declared commercially operational, and a commissioning certificate has been received from the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation, NLC India said in a bourse filing. NLC had invited bids to set up the 300 MW solar project in 2022. Tata Power Solar Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the project. This project, part of the Central Public Sector Undertaking Program, is expected to generate over 750 million units of clean energy annually.
