Our Projects

GOA CONVERGENCE

A systems approach to energy transition, in partnership with the State of Goa:

  • Decentralised 100 MW solar power generation.
  • Electric mobility awareness, e-charging infrastructure, 4w/2w e-vehicles.
  • Solar home lighting systems and agri pumps for rural areas.

The coastal State of Goa has a total population of 1.5 million. The State Capital had 3x the national average GHG emissions according to a study by the Smart City Development Mission. Its vehicle density is among the highest in the country and effects of climate change are becoming evident.

More than a third of Goa’s population will benefit from CESL’s clean energy initiatives. GHG emissions reduction will be over 0.3mn tons and through the life of the project, the State will save INR2,500 crores.

GRAM UJALA

The States of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, among the most populated and economically deprived regions of India, have significantly suffered during the COVD-19 pandemic. As a way to support them in becoming #AtmaNirbhar and resilient to Climate Change, the Gram Ujala program has been launched in two districts each of these states.

Over 600 million LED bulbs will be sold at INR10 ( or 4 ¢) and the remaining amount will be funded via Clean Development Mechanism revenues. The project has been registered on the UNFCC Program of Activities. The daily progress can be tracked here.

Carbon Free Ladakh

On the 49th World Environment Day, CESL signed an MoU with the newly carved out Union Territory of Ladakh to provide clean energy solutions, decarbonize transport, and fight energy poverty. Off-grid valleys in the region continue to be heavily dependent on diesel generators, especially during the winter seasons which too is limited to 4-6 hours of 2.3kWh per day. No heating needs are met in this limited supply and the households continue to depend on traditional heating with cow dunk, yak wool etc.

 

Clean transport: CESL has tied up with the research wing of Hyundai Seoul to provide custom-made electric four-wheelers for the Administration. A one of a kind solar carport of 242 kW Solar PV with 762 kWh (minimum) Lithium based Battery Energy Storage System is also being developed that will provide clean charging facility for the cars.

Minigrid to switch from Diesel generators: A 29MW Minigrid with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) starting with a pilot of 5MW with 18MWh pilot is being developed in the off-grid Zanskar Valley, providing for suprressed energy demands for lighting and heating, especially in the winter. A consultative approach that is community and locally led is being ensured.

Carbon finance: The carbon assets from the project are being registered in the voluntar markets with estimated fund raising potential of US$8-12 / ton from the markets.
