ENGIE, a low-carbon energy and services company globally, has concluded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) on a 100 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) project in Barmer, Rajasthan. This contract strengthens the growing presence of renewable energy in India by ENGIE and underscores its ongoing interest in helping the nation to change to energy with long-term and sustainable energy solutions.
The Barmer project was located in one of the best solar irradiance areas in India and will be commissioned in 2027. It is one of the strategic extensions of ENGIE in terms of its portfolio in Rajasthan, which currently stands on the verge of 1 GW. The site has great sun potential and good infrastructure and is very crucial as a component of the expanding utility-scale solar grid in India. The proposed project also enhances a long-standing partnership between ENGIE and SECI and further adds to its rich experience of implementing significant solar projects in the country.
Amit Jain, CEO and Country Manager, India MD Renewables & Batteries India & Southeast Asia, stated, “Our agreement with SECI marks a pivotal chapter in ENGIE’s growing partnership in India and reflects our shared ambition to accelerate the country’s clean energy transition. The Barmer project is focused on delivering dependable solar power to a region where rising energy demand and economic growth go hand in hand. As the grid evolves, our priority is disciplined execution, deep local integration in Rajasthan, and building infrastructure that delivers long-term performance. We are committed to creating enduring value for communities, for the economy, and for India’s energy future.”
ENGIE has already demonstrated good implementation skills with some of the most prominent solar installations in India. They are the 200 MW Raghnesda Solar Power Plant in Gujarat, commissioned during the Covid-19 pandemic and already providing clean energy; the 250 MW Kadapa project in Andhra Pradesh, which uses high-technology inverters to maximize production; and the 140 MW Bhadla project in Rajasthan, which sets the pace with robotic water-free cleaning systems designed to work in deserts.
ENGIE presently has a 2.5 GW portfolio of renewable developments in 23 projects in seven Indian states, including more than 300 MW in Rajasthan. The company is still determined to incorporate digital innovation and sustainability in its operations and delivery to communities in its projects.
The Barmer project makes ENGIE increasingly large in its renewable presence and adds value to the Indian aim of a resilient and low-carbon energy future, and its standards of precision and purpose in action remain.
