Sunsure Energy has signed three consecutive long-term solar open-access power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Wonder Cement to supply a total of 30 MWp of renewable energy across Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The agreements mark a continued partnership between the two companies, reinforcing their shared commitment to sustainability and industrial decarbonisation.
Power Supply Across Multiple Locations
Sunsure Energy has already started sending clean power to Wonder Cement’s plants in Dhule, Maharashtra, and Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, as part of the agreements. The energy comes from Sunsure’s 150 MWp solar plant in Solapur and its 49 MWp solar project in Augasi.
The multi-state execution highlights Sunsure’s capability to deliver reliable renewable energy solutions to large industrial consumers through open-access mechanisms.
Significant Reduction in Carbon Emissions
The partnership should help Wonder Cement cut down on about 33,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, which is about the same as planting 1.5 million trees.
Additionally, the transition to solar energy will enable Wonder Cement to replace up to 67% of its electricity consumption at the Dhule facility and 52% at the Aligarh plant, significantly lowering dependence on conventional grid power.
Strengthening Sustainability Commitments
Commenting on the development, Kiran Patil, Managing Director of Wonder Cement, stated, “We at Wonder Cement are committed to minimizing our environmental impact, with sustainability as a core operational principle.”
He further highlighted the company’s focus on integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into its operations.
Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Sunsure Energy, said, “We are delighted to have executed repeat agreements with Wonder Cement, enabling their switch to green energy.”
He added that the cement sector plays a crucial role in India’s industrial growth and its energy transition will be key to sustainable development.
Expanding Role in Industrial Energy Transition
The repeat agreements reflect Wonder Cement’s continued trust in Sunsure Energy’s execution capabilities across multiple states. They also underline the growing adoption of renewable energy among energy-intensive industries such as cement.
With this new development, Sunsure Energy continues to strengthen its position as a major provider of renewable energy in India’s commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, helping businesses switch to cleaner and more reliable energy sources.
