Cleantech Solar Crosses 300 MW Mark in Maharashtra For C&I Segment By Tony Cheu/ Updated On Wed, Feb 14th, 2024 Cleantech Solar Reaches Commercial Operation for Maiden Virtual Power Purchase Agreement Cleantech Solar, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions to corporations in India and Southeast Asia, has commissioned open access solar PV projects totaling 24 MWp at its solar park in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. Power from these projects is being procured by leading corporates on a captive basis to meet energy needs for their manufacturing operations in the state. These projects cater to customers across automotive, pharmaceutical, cement, industrial equipment and chemical sectors. These projects have been developed using single-axis trackers for increased generation and efficiency. The long-term partnerships between Cleantech Solar and the leading Commercial & Industrial (C&I) customers are estimated to generate more than 911 GWh of clean energy during project lifetime, leading to a reduction of approximately 833 kilotonnes of CO2 emissions. This takes the total portfolio size in Maharashtra, India’s leading industrialised state, to over 300 MWp across operations and construction stages, consisting of solar, wind and hybrid power projects. Cleantech Solar’s focus on expanding its C&I portfolio, currently at 1.2 GWp, aligns with its commitment to sustainable growth.
