Pavagada Solar Park
The Shakti Sthala solar park is about 180 km from Bengaluru in the Pavagada region of the Tumkur district. It’s big – 13,000 acres. The land comes from 2,300 farmers who leased it for 25 years. The park can produce 2,000 megawatts of power. That’s a lot! The Karnataka Solar Power Development Corp. Ltd. (KSPDCL) put it together. KSPDCL is a partnership between two groups – the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd. (KREDL).
One special thing about this park is how they got the land – they didn’t pay anything. KSPDCL used a method where they got blocks of land, got the government’s OK, then auctioned them off to solar development companies. Pretty cool, right?
