Sunsure, Kirloskar Sign PPA For 13.5 MWp Solar Project

Sunsure Energy signed a 13.5 MWp solar Open Access Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), one of the global companies engaged in fluid management solutions.

Under this agreement between Sunsure Energy, a renewable energy solutions provider, and Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), Sunsure Energy will supply nearly 2 crore units of green power annually to KBL’s manufacturing facilities. This facility is located in Kirloskarvadi (Dist – Sangli) and Kohlapur, enabling the company to achieve significant progress in its sustainability initiatives.

In Maharashtra, Sunsure will develop solar and wind energy parks of a cumulative capacity of 500 MW, over the next 2 years. In addition to KBL, Sunsure has signed PPAs to supply power with leading businesses like Lupin, KSB Pumps, Dabur, Sandoz, Emcure, Inox Air Products and more. Across India, Sunsure Energy has provided renewable energy solutions to 70+ Indian industrial companies across 16 states.

The solar power supplied under the agreement can help KBL meet around 75% of its energy requirements for both facilities from clean, renewable sources. This transition can also allow KBL to offset 14,200 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions annually, reinforcing their strong commitment to reducing environmental impact.

KBL’s corporate office in Pune is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Platinum-rated green building whereas four of its manufacturing plants are GreenCo certified by CII. It has also received the CII GreenPro Ecolabel certification for its pumps (DBxe & LLCTM Horizontal Split Case Pump Series) and castings (Cast Iron & Alloy Cast Stee Foundry) as a result of their low environmental impact and adherence to global sustainability standards. This PPA agreement can further advance their sustainability initiatives.

Kartikeya Narain Sharma, Co-Founder and CSO of Sunsure Energy, commented, “This partnership strengthens Sunsure’s mission of accelerating the adoption of green energy solutions in India’s industrial sector.”

Manish Patel, Head of Corporate Sustainability and Excellence at KBL added, “At Kirloskar Brothers Limited, sustainability is at the core of our business. By embracing solar power through our partnership with Sunsure Energy, we are taking a bold step toward reducing our carbon footprint and leading the way in renewable energy adoption within the manufacturing industry.”
