Reliance Power said it has begun pre-commissioning activities at its 100 MW CSP (concentrated solar power) project in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.
The project based on CLFR (compact linear Fresnel reflector) technology is being built at a cost of Rs 2,100 crore, adjacent to a 40 MW solar photovoltaic plant commissioned by the company last year.
The project is set to be commissioned by March 2014, RPower said.
The project is financed by multilateral agencies such as the Asian Development Bank, US Exim Bank, FMO of the Netherlands and Axis Bank.
Rajasthan Sun Technique Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Power, was awarded the CSP project in December 2010 by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (a subsidiary of NTPC) under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission.
The total power generated by the plant will be supplied to NVVN for a 25-year period.
