Overview
Gajner LEPL 10 is a 10 MW operational solar PV facility located in Gajner, Rajasthan, India. It contributes to India's renewable energy capacity under national solar targets.
Gajner LEPL 10 is a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with a capacity of 10 megawatts, located in Gajner, Rajasthan, India. The facility is operational and forms part of India's growing solar energy infrastructure, leveraging the region's high solar irradiance for clean electricity generation. The plant operates within India's supportive regulatory framework, including the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) and state-level renewable energy policies. Solar PV technology converts sunlight directly into electricity, and at 10 MW, this facility is considered a medium-scale installation typical of distributed solar projects in India. Environmentally, the plant contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supports India's target of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Its location in Rajasthan, a state with abundant solar resources, minimizes land-use conflicts and aligns with regional renewable energy development goals.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in the Thar Desert region of Rajasthan, an area characterized by high solar insolation and arid conditions. Solar PV installations here have minimal water requirements and low ecological disruption compared to other energy sources. The plant supports local grid stability and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to India's climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
