07Impact

Engineering-grade impact reporting.

Climate impact is calculable, not rhetorical. We report it on the same basis used by the Central Electricity Authority for the Indian grid — per megawatt, per year, and over the full life of a PPA.

Impact per megawatt, per year.

Using CEA grid emission factors and a capacity utilisation factor representative of the solar resource zones where our plants operate, each megawatt of installed solar avoids a predictable and auditable quantum of emissions every year it runs.

~1,300 t

CO₂ avoided per MW per year. Typical Indian solar resource zone, CEA combined-margin grid emission factor.

~1,577 MWh

Generation per MW per year at 18% capacity utilisation factor typical of Gujarat & central India.

~32,000 t

CO₂ avoided per MW over a single 25-year PPA — the lifetime climate return on a megawatt of capacity.

Calculations use CEA grid emission factor (Indian grid, combined margin, ~0.71–0.73 kg CO₂/kWh per most recent CEA CO₂ Baseline Database) and an 18% capacity utilisation factor representative of the solar resource zones in which our operating plants are located. Figures are illustrative per-MW equivalents, not portfolio totals, and should not be read as projections.

Beyond carbon.

Solar generation also displaces local air pollutants — particulate matter, NOₓ, SOₓ — and, compared with thermal generation, requires essentially zero operational water. The second-order benefits compound in the regions where our plants sit.

We report impact in the same language used by development finance institutions and ESG-focused investors: avoided emissions calculated on an audit-ready basis, with assumptions disclosed alongside results.
