Sunsure Energy has commissioned its 105 MWp solar plant in Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba district within a record four months of signing the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), reinforcing its commitment to accelerating India’s renewable energy transition. The project marks a significant milestone as the first solar installation to evacuate green power through the Uttar Pradesh government’s Green Energy Corridor-II (GEC-II), strengthening the state’s clean energy infrastructure.
Located in Kabrai village, the project is Sunsure Energy’s 11th operational facility in Uttar Pradesh. Spread across 282 acres and connected to the grid through a dedicated 7-km, 132 kV transmission line, the solar plant is expected to generate over 16.7 crore units of clean electricity annually. The output is sufficient to power nearly 1.4 lakh Indian households for a year while helping offset around 1.2 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually and nearly 3 million tonnes over the project’s lifetime.
The Green Energy Corridor-II initiative, led by Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL), involves an investment of nearly Rs 5,400 crore to develop 21 substations and supporting transmission infrastructure designed to evacuate close to 4,000 MW of solar power from the Bundelkhand region. The successful evacuation of electricity from Sunsure Energy’s Kabrai plant through the newly energized 220 kV Kabrai substation marks the first flow of green power through the corridor, establishing an important benchmark for future renewable energy projects in the region.
Speaking at the commissioning of the project, Mr. Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Sunsure Energy said, “India’s clean energy transition is inseparable from its manufacturing ambitions. As India builds out its capacity across multiple sectors, UP’s ambition to integrate clean energy with multiple manufacturing clusters within the state, sets a very clear benchmark. We are delighted to be a part of the state’s clean energy story and immensely grateful to the state government, UPPTCL and our partners who have helped us build the renewable assets which allow Indian industry to grow without compromising on its climate commitments.”
With the commissioning of this project, Sunsure now has 11 facilities and 365 MWp capacity operational in Uttar Pradesh. Through its UP Shakti initiative started in 2023, the Company is looking to expand its footprint and deepen its engagement in the state further to 500 MW of operational capacity by the end of FY26 by when its 125 MW/ 500 MWh Battery Energy Storage Project will be commissioned. Sunsure Energy currently supplies power to some of the biggest industrial consumers in India like LG Electronics, Kajaria Ceramics, Jindal Stainless, Dabur, and Bisleri, among others.
