Veer Energy has joined forces with ASTOM AG Swiss to develop a 25MW grid-based solar energy project in the Kutch District, reports the Business Standard.
The development will include 400 58.5W solar panels, which will be supplied by US firm New Millennium Solar Equipment (NMSEC). Veer Energy has already imported thin film panels for its pilot project from the manufacturer.
