Sunsure Energy Commissions 20 MW Solar Plants in Karnataka

The project is spread across 75 acres of land situated in Harpanhalli Taluka of Davangeri district. For next 25 years it will generate enough clean energy to power more than 8,000 households in Karnataka.

A 20 MW (15 MW + 5 MW) of turnkey solar power plant project was commissioned by Sunsure Energy, marking the end of its financial year 2018.

The project is spread across 75 acres of land situated in Harpanhalli Taluka of Davangeri district. For next 25 years it will generate enough clean energy to power more than 8,000 households in Karnataka.

The contract for delivery of the energy has been given to Karnataka’s two largest distribution companies, BESCOM and HESCOM. It will be distributed to residential, industrial and agricultural consumers of the state.

All the way from synchronizing the plant with the grid Sunsure led the developments of these plants right from the bidding to land acquisition and clearances. Sunsure is now tasked with ensuring these plants perform optimally. Sunsure will be deploying its operations & maintenance systems at both the sites in FY19.

Director of Business Development at Sunsure Energy, Manish Mehta said, “As a company, delivering a fulfilling turnkey experience to our developer clients at this scale, gives us immense confidence. Our thanks go out to all stakeholders involved – the development and execution teams, members of KPTCL, BESCOM, HESCOM and KERC, the Harpanhalli community members and landowners – who contributed to making this project a success.

“Working in Karnataka has been a great learning experience and we aim to continue building solar plants in the state. The lessons learned in this journey will be enablers in our next phase of growth in the state and nationwide,” said Shantanu Faugaat, Director of Operations at Sunsure Energy.

Sunsure Energy was started in 2014 by a group of IIT-Delhi alumni with a vision to build assets to bridge the energy gap in India. It has commissioned over 40 MW solar plants across 9 states of India. Its headquarter is in Delhi and has earlier worked with companies like Merino Industries, Hindware, Mazagaon Dock, Cochin Shipyard, Enrich Agro (Coca Cola Bottlers), Minda Group, Cleantech Solar, Machino Plastics (A Maruti JV Company), Surya Roshni and many others.
