DVC inks JV agreement with NTPC for renewable energy projects

Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) announced on Wednesday that it has inked a joint venture (JV) agreement for renewable energy projects in its command area with NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited.

DVC will own 49% of the JV company, while NTPC Renewable will own 51%. The JV will implement renewable energy parks and projects, including those approved under the Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Parks Plan and the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) scheme.

According to the media, this JV will work on projects with a GW scale.

The JV with NTPC was unrelated to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by DVC with another state-owned business, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) Limited, to harness potential solar energy of roughly 2000 MW in the DVC Command Area.
