Photovoltaic system installation project in India
CONTEXT
India's energy sector is one of the most diverse in the world. It uses conventional sources such as coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear power, and renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, and biomass. The Indian government's goal is to increase clean energy production, so the energy industry is currently undergoing a major transformation. Infrastructure is being renovated and investment is being made in green forms of energy such as wind and solar power.
DESCRIPTION
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
To provide clean electricity to India's national grid, thus replacing electricity generated by fossil fuel power plants connected to the grid and avoiding the equivalent of carbon dioxide emissions.
