Commissioning a 21-megawatt Captive Solar Plant in Tamil Nadu

CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) has set up CLI’s first captive 21MW solar power plant in Tamil Nadu, India. The power plant is anticipated to generate over 30 million kWh of electricity annually and estimated to meet the power supply needs of 2 million square feet (sq ft) equivalent of office space from early 2024 onwards. The power generated from the solar plant will be utilised predominantly for the common areas of CLINT’s assets in Tamil Nadu. This will increase CLINT’s green energy usage by over 70%, reduce its carbon emissions by more than 17,000 tonnes, as well as reduce its need to purchase power from the utility. The facility has an 8 MW expansion potential, bringing the solar plant’s total power capacity to 29 MW.
