Bundelkhand Saur Urja Limited (BSUL) has invited expressions of interest (EOI) from interested developers to establish grid connected solar PV power project in 1.2 GW Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Park (UMREPP) in Uttar Pradesh’s Jalaun district.

A joint venture (JV) between NHPC Limited and Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA), BSUL is tasked with implementing 1.2 GW Jalaun Solar Park.

Entire 1.2 GW capacity is to be established in in 2 locations with 600 MW each. In Madhogarh sub-district of Jalaun district, this capacity is targeted to come online by March 2024, and in Orai sub-district by August 2024.
