In the next two months, the Madhya Pradesh based Reva Ultra Mega Solar Ltd (RUMSL) will start giving green power to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
The DMRC would get around 25 percent of the total power generated by the RUMSL. This arrangement would meet around 90 percent power demand of the DMRC. This will be the first project in the country which will supply power to an inter-state open access customer.
RUMSL has started generating 10 MW power from July 6 this year. The project is estimated to meet 90 percent of the daily electricity demand of the DMRC. Besides, it would save Rs 1,400 crore of Delhi Metro in the next 25 years.
The DMRC would pay around Rs 3.67 for per unit of solar power, including the transmission charge.
Currently, the DMRC is buying power at Rs. 7 per unit. It will get a benefit of 24 percent due the power purchased from the Rewa Solar power while the 76% will go to the MP power management company limited which supplies power to the Discoms. RUMSL will go full steam by this year-end.
