Adani Electricity has installed a 100-kW rooftop solar plant coupled with a battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Borivali office in Mumbai.
This innovative solution harnesses the power of the sun, reducing reliance on the grid and contributing to a cleaner, greener future, a release by Adani Electricity said, adding that this pioneering project showcases Adani Electricity’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
The key benefits include:
- The rooftop solar plant (seen above) generates renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and air pollution. The BESS stores excess solar power during the day, making it available for use during evenings and nights.
- The system takes advantage of time-of-day (TOD) tariffs by storing energy during off-peak hours and utilizing it during peak hours when electricity costs are higher.
- The BESS (pictured below) acts as a dependable backup source, ensuring uninterrupted operations in case of power outages.
“This project underlines our unwavering commitment to sustainability,” said an Adani Electricity spokesperson. “This installation will serve to showcase the potential of integrating Rooftop Solar and Battery Storage and will set a remarkable example for the industry.”
Replus Engitech Pvt Ltd, the project collaborator, echoed this sentiment. “We congratulate Adani Electricity for being a frontrunner in embracing a sustainable future and energy transformation.”
This initiative complements Adani Electricity’s existing efforts in green energy. Currently, the company already sources 38 per cent of its power requirement from renewable sources, with a goal of reaching 60 per cent by 2027, the release added.
