CleanMax To Supply Hybrid Renewable Power To Shell Sites

24 Apr 2026 CW Team

CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions Limited will supply hybrid wind and solar renewable electricity to Shell India's assets in Gujarat and Karnataka, covering multiple sites with a combined installed capacity of approximately 30 megawatt (MW).

The announcement stated that the projects form part of a group-captive framework under which both companies will co-invest in the development of these renewable assets.

In Gujarat CleanMax is developing a 16.83 MW hybrid renewable energy plant comprising six point nine three MW of solar and nine point nine zero MW of wind capacity to supply the LNG terminal at Hazira in Surat. The hybrid configuration is designed to support energy-intensive operations at the terminal and improve supply stability for critical industrial loads.

In Karnataka CleanMax is developing a 13.2 MW hybrid renewable plant consisting of nine point nine MW of solar capacity in Jagalur and three point three MW of wind capacity in Honawad to power the Shell Technology Centre in Bengaluru, a global innovation and pilot testing hub. The agreement reflects Shell's effort to decarbonise operations and to balance reliability with cleaner energy solutions across complex assets. Both firms will invest jointly to deliver these tailored renewable solutions.

Together the projects are expected to generate approximately 66,832 megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable energy annually under the power purchase agreement and are intended to reduce the carbon intensity of covered operations. CleanMax reported a five point seven gigawatt (GW) operational and contracted renewable portfolio as of March 2026, with 570+ customers and data centres and AI accounting for 42 per cent of contracted volumes. The company positions itself as a net zero partner for corporates seeking reliable, long-term renewable solutions.
