The project cost 690 million rupees ($10.2 million) and includes aFresnel solar fieldwhich feeds feed 14 GWh of energy into the water-steam cycle of a 210 MW coal unit. The facility helps to accelerate the start-up of the steam turbines and the limited size of the Fresnel technology suited local land constraints, the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) said in a 2019 report.
