ADM Solar Power Signs 10 MW Captive Solar PPA

ADM Solar Power has signed a 10 MW power purchase agreement under the open access captive model with Avener Green to supply renewable energy for its solar module and solar cell manufacturing facility in Aligarh.

Under the agreement, a 10 MW captive solar power plant will provide reliable, cost-effective and green electricity to ADM’s advanced manufacturing unit, reducing dependence on conventional grid power. The move aligns with the company’s long-term strategy to build a low-carbon, energy-efficient solar manufacturing ecosystem in India.

By opting for open access captive solar power, ADM is expected to achieve energy cost savings while ensuring price stability and energy security for its high-capacity production lines. The company said powering its own solar module and cell manufacturing with renewable energy reflects its commitment to leading by example in sustainable industrial practices.

ADM added that the initiative strengthens its position not only as a solar manufacturer but also as a responsible clean energy consumer focused on long-term, sustainable growth. The partnership also supports the Government of India’s Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives by promoting the use of clean energy within domestic manufacturing.

The transition to solar-powered operations is expected to significantly lower ADM’s carbon footprint and set a sustainability benchmark within the solar manufacturing sector.

Avener Green, which specialises in utility-scale and open access solar projects, will develop and supply power from the captive solar plant, ensuring long-term performance, reliability and regulatory compliance.
