Nawal Saini, Managing Director & Head- Renewable Power and Transition for South Asia and the Middle East, Brookfield, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the potential to meet the demand in the C&I segment and align decarbonization with value creation. Rajeev Karthikeyan and Dev Anand Vijayan, Founders of Leap Green Energy, emphasised their excitement to scale Leap Green into a multibillion-dollar renewable platform while focusing on their home market of Tamil Nadu.

Brookfield is one of the world?s largest investors in renewable power, with around 33 GW of generating capacity and a development pipeline exceeding 155 GW.
