Around five more tail-end grid connected solar power plants will become operational by the end of this year. “Apart from the two solar plants around Delhi, one will come up in Karnataka, one in Punjab and the fifth one in Rajasthan,” an MNRE official told Governance Now.

Tail-end solar power plants are those which supply additional power to established electricity grids.

The Karnataka, Rajasthan and Punjab solar power plants are expected to generate one MW of power each. The ones in Delhi will generate 88 KW of power together. Recently a tail-end solar power plant inaugurated in Bawana in Delhi is generating 54 KW of power.
