The project activity is a new 50 MW large-scale grid connected solar thermal power project in Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan, India. The project introduces state-of-the-art and sustainable solar thermal power generation using parabolic trough technology. Electricity generated from the project activity will be sent to the Combined Regional grid i.e. Northern, Eastern, Western, and North-Eastern grids (NEWNE) of India. As a result of commissioning, the gross electricity generation in the project activity is 130,263 MWh/year. Accordingly this project activity is expected to supply 118,866 MWh net electricity to the grid per year and abates 1,131,600 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions
