Photovoltaic system installation project in India

CONTEXT

India’s energy sector is one of the most diversified in the world. It uses conventional sources such as coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear power, as well as renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydropower and biomass. The objective of the Indian government is to increase renewable energy generation, and the energy industry is currently undergoing a major transformation. Infrastructure is being upgraded and investments are being made in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.
 

DESCRIPTION
The “Bundled Solar Photovoltaic Project by ACME” is a large-scale solar photovoltaic power generation project implemented in aggregate through 16 project instances, 15 of which are small-scale and 1 large-scale, with a total installed capacity of 1,107.5 MW.
The installations are spread across five states in India:
• Telangana
• Andhra Pradesh
• Karnataka
• Rajasthan
• Uttarakhand

The project is a step toward supporting the implementation and installation of grid-connected solar renewable energy plants in India. Implementation of the project ensures energy security, diversification of the grid generation mix, and sustainable growth of the power generation sector in India. In addition, the project creates local job opportunities and promotes the adoption of renewable energy in the region.

 

Project name: BUNDLED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT BY ACME

 

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

 

BENEFITS
The project aim to:

  • reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the replacement of electricity generated from fossil fuels, which are predominant in the Indian electricity grid
  • producing sustainable electricity in a decentralised and geographically distributed manner
  • promoting local economic opportunities
     

RESULTS

  • Monitoring period from 26/04/2022 to 31/01/2023• 804 training sessions delivered to personnel employed at the photovoltaic sites (517 technical training courses, 282 plant monitoring and management courses, and 5 emergency and safety procedure courses): the training was carried out in collaboration with technology suppliers, contributing to the development of professional skills and promoting workforce inclusion
  • 1,728,924.68 MWh: renewable electricity generated
  • 8,526,931 tCO₂e: emissions that were not released into the atmosphere thanks to the project.
