Additionally, GIWEL is setting up a 73.50 MW additional wind power facility at Kutch, Gujarat’s Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) III.
GIWEL now sells electricity produced from the 727.70 MW operating portfolio to different state DISCOMs and SECI.
Sembcorp industries awarded 180 MW wind power project in India
Sembcorp is making positive strides in one of the world’s largest renewable energy markets. Green Infra Wind Energy Limited has received a letter of award from SECI to develop a project, which is planned to be located in the southwest Indian state of Karnataka. A 25-year power purchase agreement will be used to sell the electricity generated by the project to SECI. With this award, Sembcorp’s installed and upcoming renewable energy capacity in India totals more than 2.3GW.
Saint-Gobain India and Sembcorp join hands for green power capacity building
Saint-Gobain India and Sembcorp Green Infra’s (SGIL) subsidiary Green Infra Wind Energy Ltd. (GIWEL) have collaborated to execute a long-term wind-solar hybrid energy supply deal.
Sembcorp will provide 33 MW of locally generated renewable energy to Saint-Gobain’s manufacturing plants in Sriperumbudur, Perundurai, and Tiruvallur over the course of the next 25 years, supporting Saint-Gobain’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
A special purpose vehicle (SPV) will supply power to Saint-Gobain’s manufacturing facilities. A total of 74% stake of the SPV will be owned by GIWEL, with Saint-Gobain India owning the remaining 26%.
“The partnership with Saint-Gobain is a strong endorsement of our competitiveness and capabilities in renewable energy and aligns with Sembcorp’s Brown to Green transformation. By supporting industry leaders like Saint-Gobain in meeting their carbon neutrality goals through such green partnerships, we are demonstrating our long-term commitment to India’s green energy transition.
Hybrid wind-solar power is a clean, viable and reliable option to support India’s Atmanirbhar manufacturing ambitions.”
