The solar project will start operations in mid-2022 and will use a combination of internal funds and debt to finance construction. Energy from the solar facility will supply SECI under a 25-year long-term power purchase agreement.
Once operational, the facility will connect to the state’s transmission utility Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam.
By securing the solar project, Sembcorp has increased its renewables portfolio to more than 3GW in operation and development across Singapore, China and India.
Sembcorp Industries Group president and CEO Wong Kim Yin said: “Sembcorp is committed to providing sustainable solutions. We are pleased to secure the 400MW utility scale solar project in Rajasthan, another step towards transforming our portfolio.
