"Gujarat Solar Park" (Asia’a largest solar park), Charanka village, Santalpur taluka in Patan district, Gujrat, India
* As a part of the Swarnim Gujarat celebrations, the Solar Park launched at Charanka village, Santalpur taluka in Patan district.
* This patch of desert was hitherto unutilized and completely barren has now been adorned with the solar park which
will yield invaluable benefits to the state.
* One is the Charanka Solar Park, a group of 17 thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power systems, on a 2,000-hectare (4,900-acre) site in the district of Patan.
* The park spread over 3000 acres of wasteland, is expected to produce 600 MW of valuable energy is being expected to be generated.
* It is expected to generate two thirds of India’s total 900 MW solar power production.
* In addition to solar energy, the park will also manufacture solar power plant panels and other related equipment.
* Local people of Gujarat will be trained to work at solar parks.
* An area that no one was ready to visit before is now attracting big companies to set up base.
* Solar park will produce 214 MW of photovoltaic solar capacity, making it larger than Golmud Solar Park in China that has a capacity of 200 MW.
* It is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 8 million tonnes and save 900,000 tonnes of natural gas annually.
* By 2013, India aims for solar power to account for 3 percent of total national capacity and the nation wants renewable sources of energy to rise from the current 6 percent capacity to a whopping 15 percent of capacity by 2020.
