As India intensifies its focus on renewable energy, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to reduce costs and carbon footprints. Karnataka, a leader in the sector, offers a prime opportunity with abundant sunlight and favourable policies.
AMPIN Energy Transition’s 240-acre open access solar project in Raichur is a prime example of this shift towards a greener, more cost-effective future
Let’s talk about how AMPIN Energy Transition successfully turned this ambitious solar open access solution project into a reality, even amidst global challenges.
Why Raichur is Ideal for Solar Power?
Karnataka has emerged as a leader in renewable energy in India, with favourable government policies and an abundance of sunlight year-round. Raichur, in particular, proved to be the ideal location for its 240-acre solar project, benefiting from high solar irradiance and available land to build large-scale renewable infrastructure. This project is its third major solar project in the state apart from major rooftop solar power plants, contributing to Karnataka’s growing reputation as a hub for renewable energy.
Delivering Real Benefits to Customers
- Financial Impact: Saving up to 45% on Energy Bills: The Raichur project isn’t just about harnessing solar power—it’s about making a tangible difference for its business customers. Companies participating in the project have been able to reduce their energy bills by up to 40-45%. This is achieved by replacing 40-60% of their conventional power usage with solar energy generated from the facility.
- Environmental Benefits: Reducing 19,500 Metric Tonnes of CO2: The switch to solar energy has also had a substantial environmental effect, with businesses collectively reducing their carbon emissions by approximately 19,500 metric tonnes of CO2 every month. This is equivalent to planting thousands of trees or taking a significant number of vehicles off the road, making a considerable contribution to combating climate change.
Successful Execution Amid Global Challenges
AMPIN Energy Transition’s Raichur project was executed at a time when the world was grappling with pandemic-induced disruptions. Supply chain issues, shutdowns, and workforce shortages created obstacles, yet the project was completed on schedule—a testament to its dedication and ability to adapt in challenging circumstances.
The project was developed in two phases: an initial 30 MWp capacity followed by an additional 45 MWp, bringing the total to 75 MWp. This phased approach ensured that the project could meet growing demand efficiently while maintaining its high standards.
The successful completion of the project under these conditions highlights the company’s resilience and commitment to delivering innovative renewable energy solutions, regardless of external challenges.
Award-Winning Solar Innovation Recognised for Excellence
AMPIN Energy Transition’s Raichur project has garnered significant recognition for its scale, efficiency, and innovative approach. In 2022, the project was awarded the Best C&I Project Ground-mount by Mercom India, a prestigious honour that underscores its importance in the commercial and industrial sectors.
The recognition highlights its ability to deliver high-quality renewable energy solutions that not only meet the needs of its customers but also set a standard for future projects across India and beyond.
