Clear Skies to Build 2MW Solar Power Project in India

Clear Skies Solar has announced an $8 million agreement with Prayag Green Solar Power to develop and construct a 2MW solar power project in Chitrakoot in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

The agreement has given opportunity for the company to execute other contracts in the region, including a previously announced $20 million project to design and construct a multi-megawatt solar power system in Uttar Pradesh.

Clear Skies Solar will provide the technology, engineering and construction services needed to create the photovoltaic project and will also be prepared to provide the operation and maintenance services needed.

Ezra Green, chairman and CEO of Clear Skies Solar, said: “To ensure our continued growth, we developed an aggressive international expansion plan earlier in 2008 that was designed to take advantage of markets with a solid feed-in tariff structure in order to obtain support for renewable energy from governments in both Europe and Asia.

“This strategy is already paying off; in addition to closing agreements for two projects in India, Clear Skies Solar has also recently announced a contract to design and construct a 150kW solar project in Greece, and this is just the first of several projects to be announced in the coming weeks.”
