GS E&C said the investment will be made by acquiring a stake in the ISTS-IV 300-megawatt photovoltaic project implemented by Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd., which was founded by India’s New and Renewable Energy Ministry.
The project costs $185 million, of which GS E&C’s investment is $23.5 million, or 49 percent of the total. The plant is slated to be built on about 600 hectares near Jaisalmer, northwestern Rajasthan, and to begin commercial operation in April 2021.
On Thursday, GS E&C held a signing ceremony in Seoul for the shareholders’ agreement for the ISTS-IV 300-megawatt photovoltaic project. It was attended by the firm’s new business division chief, Huh Yoon-hong, and India’s solar energy firm ReNew Power Chairman Sumant Sinha.
