ReNew Power becomes 11th firm globally to reach 5,000-Mw green capacity
ReNew Power has joined the global club of top renewable power generation companies by becoming the eleventh firm to reach 5,000 megawatt (Mw) of installed capacity. Of this, 3,100 Mw is wind and 1,900 Mw is solar.
India’s largest renewable power company on Sunday commissioned a 250 Mw plant in Rajasthan’s Bikaner. The plant with robotic cleaning technology is the second-largest solar firm of ReNew — the first being in Maharashtra. Power from the Bikaner plant would be supplied at Rs 2.72 a kilowatt per hour (unit) to Maharashtra.
“There are 10 other companies globally that have crossed this mark. When we started off eight years back, the largest portfolio was just 150 Mw. The whole scale of the industry has changed dramatically,” Sumant Sinha, chairman and managing director, ReNew Power, told Business Standard.
