IBC SOLAR expands in India – new EPC project with 22.5 MW in Rajasthan

The new PV installation is located near Phalodi in Rajasthan – one of the federal states with the largest amount of installed solar capacity in India and a dedicated policy regarding renewable energy, especially for large-scale PV power plants. The construction start is expected in October 2016, commission is planned for April 2017.

Milestone of 50 MW third party projects reached

“With this project, IBC SOLAR India will reach an important milestone of installing more than 50 MW of solar capacity in India for third party customers”, says Shailendra Bebortha, Managing Director of the Indian subsidiary IBC SOLAR Projects Private Ltd having its offices in Mumbai and New Delhi. “Phalodi” is IBC SOLAR’s sixth EPC project in India.

Indian subsidiary responsible for construction work

The German company IBC SOLAR AG will provide engineering services and technical supervision, whilst the Indian subsidiary will be responsible for the construction work on site. Client and investor is the LN Bangur Group, which has previously worked with IBC SOLAR on several turnkey projects, such as in Bhadla (2014) and Pokhran (2015). The region of Rajasthan is topographically and climatically challenging and requires an experienced EPC supervision.
