Premier Energies subsidiary Premier Energies Photovoltaic has secured a 140 MW PV modules supply order from Amara Raja Infra for a solar project in Bangladesh. The project is being executed on an EPC basis by Hyderabad-based Amara Raja Infra. The module supply is expected to be completed by April 2025.

Premier Energies has witnessed a journey of introducing the first solar panel assembly line with a 3 MW/year capacity, to setting up a fully integrated 3.4 GW solar cell and module line. The firm is also capable of handling upcoming technologies of cells with larger sizes such as M10, M12, and Multi-Busbar cells. The company, along with its subsidiaries, has an annual installed capacity of 2 GW solar cells and 3.36 GW solar modules, with 1 GW solar cell capacity and 1 GW module capacity under construction.

In an interview with Saur Energy, Surender Pal Singh, Chairman of Premier Energies said We have drawn up a five-year plan for the Premier Group. In the next five years, we will look ahead at almost 16 gigawatts of solar modules, 8 gigawatts of cells, 4 gigawatts of wafers, and 4 gigawatts of ingot. We are already planning wafer and ingot in the year 2024-2025 itself. But in the next five years, we would be close to 16 GW of module line and cell, wafer, and ingot capacity as well.
