Answer:
==========================================
The Kamuthi Solar Power Project in Tamil Nadu, India occupies 2,500 acres and can supply energy for 150,000 homes in Tamil Nadu.
==========================================
Explanation:
==========================================
The Kamuthi Solar Power Project is a 648 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm in Tamil Nadu, India. It cost US $710 million and became operational in 2016. As a result, India became number three in the world for utility-scale solar PV parks, behind only the United States and China. To reach the third spot, India had to leapfrog the United Kingdom, and this solar farm gave them just enough edge.
The Kamuthi Solar Power Project occupies 2,500 acres and can supply energy for about 150,000 homes in Tamil Nadu. This plant was built and funded by Adani power, a company which was founded in 1996 as an energy trading company, and is now India's largest private energy company. In 2011, Adani became the largest thermal power generating company in India. Adani took their first step into power generation with a massive coal power project in Mundra (built-in 4+ stages between 2009-2012); but like India as a whole, Adani has been turning more and more to renewable energy investments. This huge solar energy plant- Kamuthi - was Adani’s first venture into massive solar projects.
How Long Did it Take to Build Kamuthi?
The Kamuthi Solar Power Project is a massive structure, however, it was built in only eight months. This feat was accomplished through the dedication of 8,500 team members, who worked 24 hours a day to complete the project. Perhaps as a result of the quick and efficient build, this project cost significantly less than the Topaz Solar Plant, an only slightly smaller sized plant than Kamuthi, but still a relatively large solar plant, in the Mojave desert. Kamuthi features over 2.5 million individual solar PV modules, with cleaning robots built into the top of modules.
