SkyFuel says it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) regarding the use of its SkyTrough parabolic-trough collector in concentrating solar power projects.
MEIL's bid to build, own and operate a 50 MW solar thermal power plant, through its wholly owned subsidiary MEIL Green Power Ltd., in Andhra Pradesh, India, was selected under Phase I of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, which calls for 20 million square meters of solar concentrators by 2022.
SkyTrough's design allows a high proportion of components to be provided by local fabricators, which allows Indian companies to expand manufacturing into the solar market, SkyFuel adds.
