SunEdison, a solar energy services provider and subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc., has announced the activation of a 25 Megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant located within a multi-developer, multi-facility solar park at Charanka village in Patan district, Gujarat, India. The project, which was completed in four months, is comprised of more than 89,000 solar PV modules.  With the completion of this plant, SunEdison has now activated a total of 45MW as part of the Gujarat Solar Program.

The 25MW solar power plant was inaugurated by the Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi, on April 19, 2012, and is expected to produce more than 40 million kilowatt hours of clean solar energy in the first year of operation alone.

Commenting on the activation of the solar plant, Pashupathy Gopalan, Managing Director, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Operations, SunEdison said, "SunEdison takes pride in being an active contributor to the largest solar power producing state in India. Owing to the state's progressive solar policies, we are confident we can help make Gujarat the national solar hub for India."

The multi-facility solar park is currently home to approximately 200 MW of solar power generation capacity and spread over 1,000 acres.

The solar park was established as a part of the state government's new solar policy.
