ReNew Power has set up Gujarat’s first wind-
solar hybrid project at the Chlor-Alkali unit
of Grasim Industries Limited in Vilayat,
Bharuch, in southern Gujarat. The first phase
of the hybrid project, with 17.6 MW
commercial-scale wind-solar, has recently
commenced operations and is expected to
generate ~80 million units of renewable
energy every year, mitigating ~75,000
tCO2e (carbon emissions) annually.
The partnership will expand
further with an additional 16.68
MW, which will be commissioned
in the next financial year (FY23),
as part of the second phase. Both
the parties have entered into a
25-year PPA, which will see the
project supply power for the plant
at Vilayat, Bharuch, via an Open
Access mechanism.
