Sunsure Energy and Tamil Nadu government have signed MoUs worth Rs 31.5 billion for setting up four clean energy generation projects aggregating 500 MW. To be situated in Tamil Nadu across four locations (Tuticorin and Tirunelveli, Theni, Tiruchirapalli, and Tirunelveli and Karur), the projects will be developed in the following three years. The company plans to construct three 100 MW solar power facilities, and a 200 MW wind power facility, across the state. These initiatives are slated to begin between 2024 and 2027, with the Tuticorin and Tirunelveli projects set to kick off in the fiscal year 2024-25.
The agreement is anticipated to generate significant employment opportunities, both directly and indirectly, for the local population, simultaneously contributing to the overall development of the state. With the addition of 500 MW of green energy, these greenfield projects will increase clean energy capacity of Tamil Nadu.
Recently, in December 2023, Sunsure Energy and Sandoz India collaborated to deliver more than 31 million units of clean energy per year for the next 25 years.
In August 2023, a power purchase agreement was signed between Sunsure Energy and Dabur India Limited for open access solar power.
