Introduction
It is a photovoltaic power station spread over an area
of 2,500 acres (10 km2) in Kamuthi, Ramanathapuram
district, 90 km from Madurai, in the state of Tamil
Nadu, India

It will be going to be world's eleventh largest solar park

based on capacity.

 It is to be completed by 31st March 2020 with an

investment of around ₹4,550 crore (equivalent
to ₹49 billion or US$710 million).
 To provide
Objective
648 MW
of
renewable
& clean energy to
350,000 houses of

Tamil Nadu in 240

days, i.e. 8
months at any
cost.
What makes it a Broad Project?
2.5 million, i.e. 25 lakhs solar modules
380,000 foundations
27000 meters of structures made from 30,000 tonnes
of galvanised steel
576 inverters
154 transformers for the grid
6000 km of cables
8500 workers

 Project Approach
Adani group needed to procure 2500 acres of land
matching certain criteria.
Procurement of machinery, equipments, solar
panels, micro-inverters from different countries.
By October end the team had hardly managed to
installed enough solar panels to generate only 1.6
MW of power though the target was of 90 MW.
Phase 2 of installation is expected to start by the
end of December & the company would have to
install enough solar panels to generate 13 MW of
power each day to meet the deadline.

 Risk Matrix
Risk-tier Description
Project Management/Development Risks that may be encountered
throughout the development of the
PV project: changes in costs,
design issues, permit issues, etc
Hardware Risks related to the hardware
components of the system:
compatibility
Natural Calamities Risks from any kind of natural
disaster like earthquake, flood or
strong wind
Government Risks related to changes in
governmental policies & priorities
Recommendations
Avoid • Change the project plan to eliminate the risk or to protect the
project objectives (time, cost, scope, quality) from its impact

• Some threats that arise early in the project can be avoided by clarifying
requirements, obtaining information, improving communication, or
acquiring expertise

Mitigate • Reduce the probability and/or impact of an adverse risk event to an

acceptable threshold

• Taking early action to reduce the probability and/or impact of a risk is

often more effective than trying to repair the damage after the risk has
occurred

• Risk mitigation may take resources or time and hence may represent a
tradeoff. However, the overall result may reduce risk to the overall
project objective
 • Shift the negative impact of a threat to a third party
through: insurance, performance bonds, warranties,
guarantees, incentive/disincentive clauses, cost & time
contracts, provided the price for the risk transfer can be
supported by project cash flow

• Transference reduces the risk only if the person to

Transfer/ whom the risk is transferred (such as the contractor) is
Share better able to take steps to reduce the risk and does so
Risk transference nearly always involves payment of a
risk premium to the party taking on the risk.

• Adopted if is either not possible to eliminate that risk

from a project or the cost in time or money of the
Acceptance response is not warranted by the potential impact of the
risk.
Tracking Progress
The company will
have to follow the
estimated schedule
chart precisely in
order to meet the
deadline.
It will be a huge
challenge for them as
they are already
working behind
schedule,
generating only
1.7% MW of the
estimated target.
 Conclusion
 The Government of India aims to reach a renewable energy capacity
of 175 GW by 2022.

 100 GW of this is planned through solar energy, 60 GW through

wind energy, 10 GW through small hydropower, and 5 GW through
biomass-based power projects.

 Although the pace at which India is generating renewable energy

might not be enough to achieve target 2022 but the success of this
project would definitely be a great milestone for the programmed.

 The Project management team must be proactive, aggressive and

efficient in each planning step and thoroughly monitor situations and
execute contingency plans as issues arise.
