- Shakti Sthala, hailed as the world's largest solar park by Karnataka govt. was inaugurated by CM Siddaramaiah in Pavagada taluk of Karnataka's Tumkur district.
- The first phase of the park has 600 MW while another 1,400 MW will be added by December 2018.
- Once fully operational, the park will have the capacity to produce 2,000 MW of electricity — 453 MW more than the current world's largest solar park in China, the Tengger Desert Solar Park.
- One of the unique features of the plant is, the land for the park was leased from the local community for 25 years, instead of the common practice of acquisition.
- The park’s development was initiated with the creation of the Karnataka Solar Power Development Corp. Ltd (KSPDCL) in March 2015 as a joint venture between Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd (KREDL) and Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI).
- This solar project is part of the “Karnataka Solar Policy 2014-2021”
- Karnataka has emerged as the third-largest producer of renewable energy in the country.
