India, May 4, 2022 – TotalEnergies has completed a 7 MWp solar installation for a leading textile company. It is one of the largest ground-mounted behind-the-meter solar systems in Western India.
With around 14,000 modules installed at the textile giant’s manufacturing site in North India, the solar system will generate approximatively 12 GWh of electricity per year and reduce carbon emissions by over 7,800 tons annually, equivalent to taking more than 1,500 cars off the road.
In addition to reducing its carbon footprint, TotalEnergies’ client will be able to decrease its energy costs with clean energy produced for 25 years without any upfront investments.
Gavin Adda, Head of TotalEnergies Renewables Distributed Generation Asia, said, “As the leading solar power provider in the region, we are dedicated to offer solar solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the overall energy cost. This project showcases our strong commitment to clean energy and is a step towards our long-term sustainability goals. TotalEnergies provides its customers peace of mind from a technical, financial and commercial perspective.”
