New Delhi, Jan 17 (PTI) Jaipur-based Rays Power Infra on Tuesday said it has commissioned a 275-megawatt (MW) solar project in Sundarganj, Bangladesh.

Spread over 600 acres of land, the project will offset over 375 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to 2.5 lakh fuel engine cars, Rays Power Infra said in a statement.

“Rays Power Infra successfully commissions a 275 MW DC solar PV (Photovoltaic) project in Bangladesh, the single largest solar plant in the (neighbouring) country,” it said.

The company has completed the project within a scheduled time frame of 14 months. The project will help meet the deficit of the power supply reducing carbon footprint.

Ketan Mehta, MD & CEO, Rays Power Infra, said, “This is the single largest project commissioned by Rays Power…despite a challenging execution environment and difficult soil and weather conditions, Rays was able to commission the project on time.”

Pawan Sharma, Director, Rays Power Infra, said his company is now focusing on establishing more such power plants in Bangladesh and other countries as well.
