Pondicherry’s first solar project to be powered by Waaree Energies

The plant is expected to generate 1,75,00,000 KWH of solar electricity in a year bringing down power costs and relieves the tariff burden on households.

Waaree Energies, one of the leading solar manufacturers, fuelling the country to spearhead the green-power revolution has commissioned a large-scale10 MWp solar power project in Pondicherry. This first and only solar plant in the city will supply power to Pondicherry Electricity Grid and Pondicherry Electric Department. Financed by IREDA, the project has installed 37,920 Waaree Solar Modules and EPC has been led by Waaree Energies. With an agreement under the LTOA scheme, Waaree has signed a 25 year-long PPA with Chemfab Alkalies.

This reinforces Waaree’s position as a frontrunner in transforming cities towards attaining clean energy solutions while giving impetus to a sustainable future. This also aids the government’s vision of making Pondicherry India’s pilot solar city with an aim to drive the Atma Nirbhar Bharat initiative.
