Currently, the Steel industry in India relies heavily on fossil fuels, which account for 85% of its energy consumption. This reliance contributes significantly to carbon emissions in the country. Thus, it is crucial for the industry to swiftly adopt cleaner energy sources. The Steel industry requires Round-the-clock operations for induction, furnaces, and heavy machinery. Among the available options, investing in open access solar power offers numerous advantages. Solar energy has the potential to meet a significant portion of the industry's electricity needs while reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, it can result in cost savings of up to 50% compared to grid-supplied electricity.

  • In 2016, SunSource Energy developed an on-site solar power project for us. Since we were associated with them from the start, it was obvious that we tied up with them again for a 5 MW off-site project when the Open Access Policy of UP came in 2019. SunSource Energy’s team of experts has simplified the process of the energy transition for us with their on-site and off-site solar solutions.
