Best in Class MonoPERC Modules and String Inverters. Jakson has adopted a dry cleaning module using robots instead of wet cleaning which will eventually save up to 80% water. To ensure safety, only high quality products, especially modules and inverters, are being used in the plant. Drones that were deployed for thermal screening to detect any damage during the execution of the plant would continue to be deployed. Jakson Group is also currently developing Assam’s first large scale Solar PV plant of 70MW in Anguri Solar Park. It will be operational by the end of the year. Including these projects, Jakson’s total portfolio stands at more than 200MW and is expected to grow to 1GW by 2024. CM

The company also plans to tap cheaper funds through its pact with National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) that was signed a year ago. NTPC- the first one to declare its energy compact goals as part of the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy-- has committed to set up 60 Gw at an estimated investment of through renewable energy sources by 2032 by when the total capacity is expected to reach 132 Gw. The target has been scaled up from the previous 30 Gw planned by the company till 2032. NTPC targets adding nearly 4,000 Mw of clean energy capacity every year, which would be scaled up to 8,000 Mw towards 2032. CM || July 2021 ||
