APM Terminals Pipavav (Gujarat Pipavav Port) in Gujarat has entered into a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement with CleanMax to procure power from a 4.56 MW wind-solar hybrid project. The hybrid renewable energy project comprises 3.5 MW of wind capacity and 1.06 MW of solar capacity and operates under the third-party open-access model. The project is expected to deliver approximately 540 million kWh of electricity annually to meet the port’s operational requirements.
The hybrid project was implemented in two phases: the first phase, commissioned in January 2022, included 2 MW of wind capacity and 0.50 MW of solar capacity. The second phase, completed in September 2024, added 1.50 MW of wind capacity and 0.56 MW of solar capacity. This initiative supports APM Terminals Pipavav’s vision of achieving net-zero status by 2040 while also contributing to long-term cost savings. Renewable energy tariffs are reportedly more predictable and less volatile than conventional power tariffs.
In January 2024, Gujarat Pipavav Port signed an MoU with NTPC Green Energy Limited to develop a green hydrogen ecosystem, produce green ammonia, and explore offshore wind energy projects.
