SJVN Limited, a Navratna CPSE and a Joint Venture of Govt. of India & Govt. of H.P., has successfully achieved Commercial Operation Date (COD) of 70 MW Dhubri Solar Power Project in Assam. The project, executed by wholly owned subsidiary, SIVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), is the first large-scale solar project in the state and SJVN's first operational project in the North Eastern Region. The project, developed on 330 acres of lease-based land, is expected to generate 141.13 million units of electricity in its first year and approximately 3,230 million units cumulatively over 25 years. The maximum usage charges have been fixed at Rs 3.92 per unit, ensuring supply of affordable and clean power. The generated power will be supplied to Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL). The foundation stone of this project was laid by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Sh. Narendra Modi, on March 4, 2024. The project is expected to result in an estimated reduction of approximately 1,58,270 tonnes of carbon emissions, reinforcing India’s commitment to climate action. The project has also generated multiple direct and indirect employment opportunities, thereby supported creation of green jobs and provided a boost to local economy.
