The Solar Park named as Shakti Sthala is located at Pavagada, less than 200 km from Bengaluru. It is set to become the world's largest when it attains its full potential of 2 GW This move resonates with the centre's ambitious scheme to generate 100 GW of solar power by 2020. Pavagada sits on an elevated plateau with rocky hills all around. With more than 300 sunny days a year, this area was declared drought hit for the last 60 years. Pavagada was chosen as little grows in the barren land besides groundnuts. Govt with the farmers participation has made use of their barren land for harnessing solar energy. The land is taken on lease for a period of 25 years from farmers. As a compensation, govt pays an annual rent of Rs. 21,000 per acre, with a 5% appreciation every two years. Around five acres of land is needed for 1 MW. 2 GW is enough to power 7 lakh households India has become the world's third biggest market for solar power, after China & US surging past Japan last year

Worlds Largest Solar Park 2000MW Shakti Sthala, Pavagada, Karnataka (India). First phase of 600 MW is completed. India is currently 2nd Largest solar energy generator in world.
