Overview
Dammakhedi Fixed is a 20 MW solar PV facility located in India. The plant is operational and contributes to the country's growing renewable energy capacity.
Dammakhedi Fixed is a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant located in India, with a capacity of 20 megawatts (MW). The facility is operational and represents a medium-scale solar installation within the Indian renewable energy landscape. India has set ambitious targets for solar energy under its National Solar Mission, aiming for 280 GW of solar capacity by 2030. The plant operates using fixed-tilt solar panels, a common technology for utility-scale solar farms. India's regulatory framework supports solar energy through policies such as the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) and various state-level solar policies. The country benefits from high solar irradiance, making solar PV a key component of its energy mix. Dammakhedi Fixed contributes to India's renewable energy goals by generating clean electricity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The facility supports local grid stability and helps meet the growing energy demand in the region. Its operation aligns with India's commitment to the Paris Agreement and its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
Environmental context
The plant is located in a region with high solar irradiance, typical of central India. Solar PV installations have a low environmental footprint during operation, with no emissions or water consumption. However, land use for solar farms can impact local ecosystems and agriculture. Proper siting and mitigation measures, such as maintaining vegetation between panels, can reduce ecological disruption.
