Fortum's operations in India are focused on solar power. We continue to utilise our key competencies to develop, construct and operate solar power plants in India. In 2017 we agreed with NBCC on developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure across India. We have also some ongoing R&D projects in India. Solar power in India In June 2018 Fortum signed an agreement to sell a 54% share of its solar power company operating four solar power plants in India to UK Climate Investments (40%) and Elite Alfred Berg (14%). Elite Alfred Berg has the option to buy up to an additional 16% from Fortum. The total capacity of this portfolio is 185 MW. Amrit is Fortum's first power plant in India. It was acquired in 2013. With a nominal peak capacity of 5 megawatt (MWac) and annual production at the level of approx. 9 gigawatt-hours, this plant was constructed as part of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. Kapeli is one of Fortum's first greenfield solar projects, done in 2014-2015. It has an annual yield of 20 GWh/a. The 10 MW solar plant offsets more than 18,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Bhadla solar power plant was commissioned in 2017. Its capacity is 70 MWac and annual yield 158 GHh/a. Pavagada is our newest 100 MW Solar park in Tumkur District in Karnataka, India. It was connected to grid in December 2017. This solar plant is Fortum's fourth, and so far biggest solar energy project built. In this partnership, Fortum will retain a significant minority ownership in the solar power company and continue to provide operation and maintenance services based on a long-term agreement.
