Mumbai, India - Welspun Renewables, India

Located in one of the highest radiation receiving regions of the state, the Baramati project will generate enough green energy to power 240,000 households. Estimated 83,220 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions will be mitigated each year.

Welspun Renewables has set up the project on a public-private partnership (PPP) model with Maharashtra State Power Generation Co. Ltd (Mahagenco). The power producer has been fully responsible for part-finance, design, and commissioning of this grid interactive solar power.

Apart from Maharashtra the company has presence across 10 states in India. According to the company, Welspun is in line with its 11001 MW renewable commitment and will be commissioning 1 GW capacities well within this year. For 100% of its current operating capacity the organisation has a PPA for 25 years, as also will be applicable for its future capacities.
