ReNew Power to set up 2 GW solar module unit in Gujarat

18 May 2021 CW Team

Renewable energy major ReNew Power told the media it plans to set up a solar cell and module manufacturing unit with 2 GW annual capacity in Dholera Special Industrial Region (DSIR), Gujarat.

The unit will manufacture solar cells and modules using monocrystalline Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) and large wafer technology, and will implement practices in line with Industry 4.0 manufacturing standards.

The Gujarat government has allocated 100 acres of land for the project, ensuring adequate availability of land for future capacity expansion.

The plant is expected to be vertically integrated in terms of processes and infrastructure to manufacture solar cells and modules and is expected to begin operations from the fiscal year 2022-23.

ReNew said the manufacturing capacity which is being set up would incorporate the company's sustainability initiatives and ensure decarbonisation of manufacturing processes and supply chain to create a 'Green Factory' of the future.

As we have reported earlier, the government's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules has opened up several avenues. ReNew plans to develop both solar cells and modules in the Dholera manufacturing facility to create a globally competitive manufacturing unit.

Founder and CEO of ReNew Power Sumant Sinha said the new facility would help the company to bring a crucial function in-house.

Sinha added that Gujarat has been one of the pioneers in promoting renewable energy, and ReNew's first power project, a 25.2 MW wind farm, was also commissioned in Jasdan, Gujarat.
