“We have a strong focus on developing customized solutions to meet the specific challenges of each project, and this 25MW solar installation reaffirms our ability to ‘Innovate for India’, designing End-to-End solutions that are carefully tailored to their environment, ensuring maximum efficiency.” Raghavendra Mirji, EVP & Business Head, Electricals & Electronics, a business of Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises
The Electricals & Electronics, business of Godrej & Boyce, part of the Godrej Enterprises Group, has announced the commissioning of a 25MW AC ground-mounted solar project in Dhule, Maharashtra for the Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited. This expansive installation, spanning over 52 hectares, is set to generate an impressive 45 million units annually. The solar plant will supply power to the open market, contributing to Maharashtra’s renewable energy ambitions. This project marks a significant milestone in Godrej & Boyce’s commitment to sustainable energy and environmental stewardship.
Raghavendra Mirji, Executive Vice President & Business Head, Electricals & Electronics, a business of Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises said, “India has set an ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy by 2030, as pledged at COP26 under the Panchamrit initiative. This goal reflects the remarkable growth of the renewable energy sector. At Godrej & Boyce, we are proud to contribute to this vision while supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative. We have a strong focus on developing customized solutions to meet the specific challenges of each project, and this 25MW solar installation reaffirms our ability to ‘Innovate for India’, designing End-to-End solutions that are carefully tailored to their environment, ensuring maximum efficiency. Beyond contributing to Maharashtra’s renewable energy goals, this project also highlights the important role private enterprises play in accelerating India’s clean energy transition.”
One of the unique aspects of this project is the innovative value engineering employed to overcome the challenges of undulated land and hard soil strata. Custom-designed structures with varied heights and wind resistance capabilities were designed to ensure maximum efficiency, despite the complex topography. This large-scale project, which enhances Mahagenco’s total capacity to 428.02 MW, highlights the adaptability and technological strength of the business in executing challenging solar installations.
