Sustainable Development Goals

4. Quality Education

Technical training

provided to employees

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

377,000 MWh

of renewable energy generated on average each year

8. Decent work and economic growth

Job opportunities

prioritised for skilled local people, with unskilled positions also offered

13. Climate Action

364,000 tonnes of CO2e

mitigated on average each year, by displacing fossil fuel-generated power with solar energy

The Solution

This greenfield project comprises five solar photovoltaic (SPV) locations in the Indian States of Telangana, Gujarat and Rajasthan, together with a total installed capacity of 205 MW. This grid-connected project supplies emissions-free energy to Indias electricity grid, replacing carbon-intensive energy sources.
