Azure Power, a solar power producer in India, has secured a 200MW solar project in the state of Gujarat.

Following this win, the company currently has a total portfolio of around 470MWs with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL).

Azure Power will now sign a 25 year power purchase agreement (PPA) with GUVNL, at a tariff of Rs3.06 ($ 0.05) per kWh.

The project will be developed outside a solar park. It is expected to be commissioned in 2019.

Azure Power has been developing and operating solar power plants under the Gujarat Solar Policy 2009.

The state has high level of solar radiation besides stable electric grid network. Azure Power developed and is operating India’s first MW-scale distributed solar rooftop project in Gandhinagar, the capital city of the state.
