In a move to strengthen their renewable energy portfolios, UltraTech Cement and India Cements have partnered with Fourth Partner Energy to procure 29.7 MW of captive wind power from a wind energy project being developed in Tamil Nadu.
The agreement will enable both cement manufacturers to access clean electricity for their operations through the captive power route. Under this model, the companies will hold stakes in the project, allowing them to consume the power generated while benefiting from long-term energy cost savings and greater energy security.
The wind project is expected to support the companies’ efforts to reduce dependence on conventional power sources and increase the share of renewable energy in their overall energy mix. For energy-intensive industries such as cement manufacturing, renewable power procurement has become an important strategy for lowering operating costs and reducing carbon emissions.
UltraTech Cement has been actively expanding its clean energy footprint through investments in solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects across India. The company has set ambitious sustainability goals and continues to increase the use of green power across its manufacturing facilities.
Similarly, India Cements has been focusing on improving energy efficiency and integrating renewable energy into its operations. The latest partnership is expected to contribute to the company’s environmental objectives while ensuring a stable supply of electricity for its plants.
Fourth Partner Energy, a leading renewable energy solutions provider, has been developing and operating solar, wind, and hybrid energy projects for commercial and industrial consumers across India. The company’s captive and open-access renewable energy solutions have gained significant traction among businesses seeking sustainable and cost-effective power.
The 29.7 MW captive wind project highlights the growing adoption of renewable energy by India’s industrial sector. As companies work toward decarbonization and sustainability targets, captive renewable energy projects are emerging as a preferred solution for securing reliable green power while improving long-term competitiveness.
