Executive Summary 

The demand of electricity has increased a lot in last decade and even after putting all out efforts in increasing the production of electricity it has been realized that by only doing in this way the increasing demand can not be met by conventional energy sources. One of the ways of bridging this gap in energy demand and supply is by putting Renewable Energy Power Plants in rural/semi urban areas, which will assist the utility grid in providing independent power to a dedicated load. This will reduce the load on the conventional power systems and results in saving of precious fossil fuels.      

Looking above in mind, Madhya Pradesh Forest Department has decided to put up 1 Kwp Roof top SPV Power Packs at 113 nos. remote Forest Range offices in Madhya Pradesh for providing uninterrupted power to communication equipments (computers and wireless system).

The purpose of putting SPV Power Plant is to provide uninterrupted power to dedicated loads such as computers, fans, CFL’s and other essential loads. The installation of SPV Power Packs at Forest Range offices will not only serve the purpose of smooth operation of communication equipments but will also save conventional energy and fossil fuels thereby more conventional energy will be available for other applications. The proposed solar pv power packs will be procured by calling tenders as is required under the GoMP rules and regulations.

The estimated cost of the project is Rs 380 Lacs only. The subsidy component is Rs 125 Lacs, while State of MP will bear 255 lacs.
