Sunsure Commissions UP's 10th Open Access Solar Plant With 82.5 MWp Capacity

Sunsure Energy has commissioned an 82.5 MWp open access solar power plant in Erach, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, its tenth plant in the state. In a press release, the company said, “The Jhansi project is expected to generate 12.8 crore units of power annually, directly supporting Uttar Pradesh’s clean energy transition while offering reliable, cost-competitive green power to industries in the state.”

The project takes Susure's total onstalled capacity to 260 MWp of open access solar plants operating in Agra, Banda, Mahoba, Jhansi, and Chitrakoot, supplying power to industries across the FMCG, ceramics, metals, and chemical sectors.

Sunsure is majority owned by Switzerland based Partners Group AG, a leading European private markets investment firm with assets under management of $174bn), with an equity investment of $400 million towards its vision of building the largest industrial decarbonization company in India

With 600 MW of operational assets and 7.5 GW under various stages of development across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Karnataka, Sunsure Energy is targeting a 10 GW portfolio by 2030.

Previous Projects in Uttar Pradesh

Currently, Sunsure Energy supplies power to industrial customers including Jindal Stainless, Kajaria Ceramics, Wonder Cement, Gallantt Ispat, Dabur, APL Apollo, Haldiram’s, and others.

“We began developing solar plants in Uttar Pradesh in 2021 with a 15 MW facility in Pailani. This latest project marks our 10th plant in the state and brings our operational capacity close to 300 MW – a 20-fold growth in just four years. With the ongoing industrial resurgence in Uttar Pradesh, ensuring the availability of green and clean energy to fuel this growth is imperative. As a net importer of energy, UP depends heavily on external sources to meet its power demand, and being able to support and power its industries with clean energy generated within the state is a responsibility we embrace with deep commitment,” said Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Sunsure Energy.

Sharing details of the company's previous projects, Sharma explained, “We currently supply power to a vibrant, distributed consumer base across sectors such as steel, cement, FMCG, and data centers. Our 82.5 MW Jhansi plant will be supplying power to Haldiram’s, APL Apollo, and one of the biggest data centers in the country."

"With innovation as one of our key compasses, we have evolved from plain vanilla solar to integrated solar + BESS solutions, offering utilities and industrial consumers round-the-clock (RTC) clean power, effectively addressing peak hour demand and ensuring cost-efficient and reliable power supply. With close to 300 MW today and on track to 500 MW by FY26, we are breaking new ground with a 125 MW / 500 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), secured through our recent NTPC bid win ".
