India wants 40% of its electricity to come from renewable sources, which will require vast amounts of land.
"Bhadla is almost unliveable," says TS Keshav Prasad, the chief executive of energy company IF&FS.Temperatures there typically range between 46C and 48C and frequent sandstorms add to the inhospitable conditions.
Soaking up the sunshine are 10 million solar panels with the capacity to generate 2245MW, enough to power four and a half million households. "Most of boys in my village did not study much. They were not ambitious, as our life was limited to the village, and our parents are farmers or into breeding cattle. But since the construction of the park, I realised the world is much bigger than my village," says 18-year-old Mukhtiyar Ali.
He accepts that jobs have been created by the park, but says many of those jobs do not pay enough to survive on.Mr Khan also complains that many locals still have no electricity connection. "As far as Bhadla Park is concerned we have not received any official grievance or complaints regarding land compensation. The land used in Bhadla park was government land," he says.
