Sunsure Energy completed the construction of a 74MWp Open Access Solar Power Plant in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, in an EPC partnership with Cleantech Solar. With the completion of this project, Sunsure has crossed 250 MW of installed solar capacity across 16 Indian States.
The plant will supply approx 12 crore units of green energy every year to some of Tamil Nadu’s largest industries. Power will be consumed by the industrial consumers that have entered into long-term open access power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Cleantech Solar.
Solar plant has been built under the ‘Solar Park’ model where dedicated solar power plants are set up for each industrial consumer drawing power from the plant. All these plants will evacuate power into the 400kV Kanarpatty Substation at Tirunelveli of TNEB through a common 230 kV Transmission Line.
“Sunsure continues to drive the green power agenda forward for Indian industries. This latest installation for our long-term developer partner – Cleantech – is a mighty achievement, and we hope to extend our partnership into the future with more such projects,” said Shashank Sharma, Founder and CEO, Sunsure Energy.
The solar plant started supplying green power to its off-takers on 25th September 2022.
Having started construction in January 2022, the plant has been constructed in 3 phases and covers a land area of over 210 acres. The PV modules used are mono-PERC with rated capacity of up to 545 Wp along with string inverters – this configuration ensures best-in-class efficiency from the power plant.
