AEQUS 2MW Solar Power Initiative – A Step Towards 100% Green Energy

Aequs' Vision for a Sustainable Future

With this solar initiative, Aequs Infra is setting new benchmarks in sustainable manufacturing. By harnessing solar power and implementing green energy solutions, Aequs continues to lead the way in environmental responsibility, energy cost reduction, and enhanced consumer value.

Aequs Infra continues its commitment to sustainability with the commissioning of a 2MW AC / 2.4MWp DC SRTPV Solar Power Plant. This initiative aligns with Aequs’ long-term goals of reducing power purchase costs, meeting client demands for lower energy input costs, and contributing to global sustainability efforts. Environmental and Economic Impact

Beyond financial benefits, this solar power project is expected to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of Aequs Infra. By replacing conventional energy sources with renewable power, the initiative contributes towards lower greenhouse gas emissions and a cleaner environment.

The economic advantages of this project extend beyond cost savings. By investing in renewable energy, Aequs reduces exposure to volatile energy prices, making the manufacturing ecosystem more competitive in the long run. Clients and partners of Aequs can also benefit from sustainable energy sourcing, aligning with their own environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

In addition to this initiative, Aequs is exploring future investments in wind power, battery storage, and microgrid technologies to further enhance energy resilience and sustainability.

The solar energy initiative is a crucial step in ensuring that Aequs remains at the forefront of environmentally responsible industrial practices. The shift towards renewable energy is not just a cost-saving measure but also a demonstration of Aequs’ corporate responsibility in tackling climate change.

Objectives of the Aequs Solar Power Initiative

• Cost Optimization: Reducing power purchase costs for Aequs Infra and its consumers.

• Meeting Consumer Demand: Lowering energy input costs for aerospace manufacturing clients.

• Regulatory Compliance: Following KERC recommendations for exploring SRTPV projects.

• Sustainability Commitment: Reducing carbon footprint and supporting global green energy goals.

• Value Addition: Providing competitive energy rates for aerospace manufacturing units.

• Environmental Responsibility: Reinforcing Aequs’ commitment to renewable energy and sustainable manufacturing practices.

• Energy Independence: Increasing reliance on internally generated energy to reduce dependency on external power sources.

Key Highlights of the Aequs Solar Plant

• Plant Capacity: 2MW AC / 2.4MWp DC under BOO model with a long-term PPA contract with AINSPL.

• Grid Integration: The solar power plant operates under a gross metering system at 11KV, synchronizing with the existing 11KV Aequs distribution network.

• Expected Generation: 3.21 Million Units per year with 72.4% Performance Ratio (PR) at an expected solar radiance of 1933 kWh/m².

• Year-on-Year Degradation: 0.7%.

• Cost Efficiency: Fixed tariff of Rs. 3.20/unit for 25 years, reducing per unit cost by INR 32 paise.

• Operational Benefits: Reduction in peak daytime load demand. Reduced Transmission & Distribution (T&D) losses as power is consumed within the Aequs 11KV distribution network. Enhanced energy security for the Aequs campus.

allows real-time tracking of performance, ensuring that the plant operates at optimal capacity year-round. Join Us in Our Green Energy Journey
