Reliance Power and Bhutan Partner on 500 MW Solar Project
Imagine a company called Reliance Power is teaming up with Bhutan to build a giant solar power plant!
This plant will make a lot of clean energy using the sun.
It's a big deal because it's the largest project of its kind in Bhutan's solar industry.
The plan involves a joint effort where Reliance Power and Bhutan will share the work and costs.
It will cost a lot of money, but the end result will be a lot of clean energy for Bhutan, while also making the power grid stronger.
It's like building a big Lego set together to make something useful and help the environment!
Reliance Power signed a deal with Bhutan's Green Digital for a 500 MW solar project.
The project will be a 50:50 joint venture between Reliance Power and DHI.
The project is estimated to cost up to ₹2,000 crore and will use a Build-Own-Operate model.
The initiative is the largest private sector foreign direct investment in Bhutan's solar sector.
The solar project will be rolled out in phases over 24 months.
