KPI Green Energy Begins Power Supply From 200 MW Solar Project At Khavda, Gujarat

KPI Green Energy Limited has started power generation and supply from its 200 MW AC / 240 MW DC grid-connected solar power project at the Khavda Solar Park in Gujarat. The project is part of the 1.8 GW GSECL Solar Park and was awarded by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited through a competitive bidding process. It operates under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement, which is expected to ensure stable and predictable revenue for the company over the years.

The solar project is located in Khavda, a region known for its strong solar potential. The area receives more than 300 sunny days annually and has high solar irradiation, making it suitable for large-scale solar power generation. The flat land in the region supports easy installation of solar infrastructure, while its closeness to Gujarat’s energy grid allows smooth transmission of electricity to demand centres across the state.

To improve efficiency and reliability, KPI Green Energy has deployed advanced technologies across the plant. The project uses an IoT-based robotic cleaning system with 550 robots that can dry-clean the entire 240 MWp plant in about three hours, helping to reduce water usage. A Network Operations Center and SCADA system enable real-time monitoring and control of operations, while high-resolution CCTV cameras ensure continuous surveillance of the facility.

The company has also adopted special engineering measures to manage local environmental challenges. These include enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings for equipment, protective sand layering for cable laying, and civil designs adapted to Khavda’s soil conditions. Elevated storage structures were created to protect materials during seasonal rains and maintain uninterrupted operations.

The project is expected to generate around 47.3 crore kWh of electricity every year, enough to power nearly 1.3 lakh homes. It is also estimated to reduce carbon emissions by about 3.4 lakh metric tonnes annually and has created nearly 1,000 green jobs. Founded in 1994 by Dr. Faruk G. Patel, KP Group continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, supporting India’s clean energy goals.
