Planning of rewa ultra mega solar power project (750 MW) at Rewa, Madhya Pradesh

MNRE has set up an ambitious national target for solar power, hence it is important that the States take initiative and relocate liabilities like RPO, etc behind the development of large scale solar projects. Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL) has been incorporated as a joint venture company with equal shareholding between MPUVNL (Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Limited), Bhopal Govt. of MP undertaking and SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India), Delhi, Govt of India undertaking. The 750 MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar (RUMS) project in the Gurh Tehsil, Rewa District is one such example of a State taking a proactive and leadership role in structuring the solar power project working in collaboration with the Government of India (Govt. India) and multilateral institutions such as World Bank and IFC. Planning of such Mega Project/Solar Park play a vital role in enhancing the renewable power.
