The installation will be constructed on 3000 acres of land leased by Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd (APIIC) – a Government of Andhra Pradesh undertaking – in the villages of Thumalla, Dademavaripalli, Pulikuntapalli, Karimireddypalli and Lokogipalli, and at the industrial park of Amadugur near Kadiri, all in Anantapur District in the state Andhra Pradesh.
Enfinity will develop and finance this project while Titan Energy Systems will act as a contractor and supplier of the PV Modules. “This collaboration is of major strategic importance in the further development of our activities in the high potential PV market in India”, said Gino Van Neer, Founder of Enfinity and CEO of Enfinity Asia.
"Receiving the allotment letter for 1 GWp solar power plant from APIIC is a testimony of Titan's ability and competency in establishing large utility scale solar power plants. Our SPV with Enfinity would be the right vehicle in implementing such large projects”, commented Sankar Rao, Managing Director of Titan Energy Systems.
India's National Solar Plan has set a solar goal of 20GW by 2020, 100GW by 2030 and 200GW by 2050, and more projects like this new development in Andhra Pradesh are needed if these ambitious targets are to be met.
Enfinity in Ontario
Meanwhile, Enfinity has also announced plans to collaborate with Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. on the development of a portfolio of rooftop solar installations in Ontario (Canada).
ECD and Enfinity will partner to co-develop a series of rooftop solar projects throughout Ontario under the province’s new feed-in-tariff program. The companies expect to complete construction of approximately 10MW of projects during 2010.
Mark Morelli, ECD’s president and CEO, said: “We are pleased to announce this expanding partnership with Enfinity, with the collaboration on this Ontario portfolio”.
