CleanMax, an energy company, is constructing a captive power project in a solar-wind farm situated in Jagaluru, Karnataka. The project will consist of a 36 MW solar power plant and a 9.9 MW wind power plant. The combination of solar and wind plants is a strategic move owing to their complementary nature.
"These highly efficient power plants provide reliability of continuous power supply and help effectively manage the consumption load. The partnership is an expansion of the existing relationship between CleanMax and BIAL, rooted in a shared commitment to sustainable energy usage," the release by CLeanMAX added.
BIAL's CEO, Hari Marar, stated that the airport's renewable energy needs for its expansion program will be met through a long-term power purchase agreement with CleanMax, resulting in substantial cost savings, "further bolstering our commitment to sustainability and responsible growth".
An estimated 90 million units of energy (kilo watt hours) can be obtained annually from a captive renewable energy power plant. The project aims to provide approximately 58.3 million units of solar power and 31 million units of wind power on an annual basis, utilizing the existing grid infrastructure. CleanMax, the company behind the project, highlighted the partnership's contribution to India's approach to climate change. The Founder and Managing Director of Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd, Kuldeep Jain, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership on the use of renewable energy, "CleanMax, since its inception in 2011, has consistently led the way in corporate sustainability, showcasing our expertise in crafting innovative and personalised solutions for our corporate clients."
