CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions, a leading C&I Renewable Energy Company with projects across Asia and Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) have signed a 25-year long-term PPA for the generation and supply of renewable energy from a 45.9 MW Solar-wind Captive Power Project under a SPV named – Clean Max BIAL Renewable Energy Private Limited.

CleanMax said that the captive power project set up in the solar-wind farm located in Jagaluru, Karnataka, owned and operated by CleanMax, will consist of 36 MWp of solar power and 9.9 MW of wind power plants.

Solar and Wind plants combine two of the fastest growing renewable energy technologies 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.

An estimated requirement of 90 million units of energy (KWh) on an annual basis, is being planned to be sourced from the captive renewable energy power plant. The project will ensure annual supply of approx. 58.3 million units of solar power and 31 million units of wind power utilising the existing grid infrastructure.

The initiative will enable yield of approximately 90 GWh of renewable energy annually. The Jagaluru wind-solar farm in Karnataka has a total capacity of 290 MW .

Hari Marar, MD & CEO, BIAL, said on the collaboration, “Considering our expansion plans, we have undertaken a variety of steps to deploy onsite renewable energy generation systems, offsite renewable power procurement, to sustain our 100% renewable electricity consumption. The long-term power purchase agreement with CleanMax will play an important role in meeting the renewable energy needs for the expansion program of the airport and shall provide substantial cost savings, further bolstering our commitment to sustainability and responsible growth.”

Kuldeep Jain, Founder and MD, CleanMax, stated, “This synergy in the aviation sector represents the conscious leap towards the way India approaches clean energy making it a vital part of our progress towards climate care. With a history dating back to our inception in 2011, CleanMax has consistently led the way in corporate sustainability, showcasing our expertise in crafting innovative and personalized solutions for our corporate clients.”
