Hindustan Power commissioned a 10 MW solar plant at Shergati, Gaya in Bihar. The plant commissioned at an investment of INR 81 crores is spread over 56 acres of land using 34920 modules and has been generating 45000 units of clean energy per day, since its commissioning in November 2016. The PPA for the 10 MW project has been signed with Bihar State Power Holding Corporation Ltd and the power is evacuated to 33 kV Sherghati Substation.

Hindustan Power chairman Ratul Puri said that to achieve 100 GW target from solar by 2022, the States needs to promote a policy framework that is conducive to the industry and at the same benefits the people. In recent times, Bihar has made a very positive beginning by announcing revised solar target and providing necessary infrastructure support to ramp up the capacity. They are very happy to partner the State of Bihar in achieving its solar targets. Considering India receives solar energy in the region of 5 to 7 kWh/m2/day for 300 to 330 sunny days, They have focussed on developing mid to large sized solar farms in the country.
