Enerparc to Set Up 35 MWp Solar Plant for C&I Users in Gujarat

06 May 2025 CW Team

Enerparc Energy is establishing a 35 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar power plant in Gujarat to supply clean energy to commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers under the open access model. Early power off-takers include companies from the recycling, automotive, packaging, plastics, and mining sectors.

Set to begin supplying electricity in August 2025, the project is expected to generate approximately 58 Mn units annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 41,000 tonnes each year.

Designed to meet the needs of energy-intensive industries such as manufacturing, automotive, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, the project offers stable tariffs, long-term cost predictability, and no post-investment maintenance. It also supports regulatory compliance and provides measurable reductions in Scope two emissions.

The power will be offered under the group captive open access model, allowing off-site C&I users to procure renewable energy directly. Enerparc has completed over 4.7 gigawatts (GW) of solar projects worldwide and continues to expand its clean energy footprint in India.
