A new campaign to help local industries use more solar power was launched here on Thursday by Tata Power Renewables. The program, called ‘Scale Sustainably with Tata Power,’ is focused on helping businesses, especially in areas like steel, cement, and mining, switch to solar energy more quickly, reports Energetica India.
A division of the company, Tata Power Solaroof, will provide industries in the state with clean, reliable, and cost-saving solar energy solutions.
Chhattisgarh is becoming a major industrial center for India, and more companies are looking for clean energy options. This new effort is designed to support local business owners and larger companies that have high power needs, helping them move to sustainable energy without hassle.
As part of the campaign, customers can get special financing offers. These include low interest rates starting at 7.35 percent, no processing fees, and loans that do not require property as security.
To help spread awareness, the company will hold workshops, partner with local organizations, and meet directly with business owners across the state’s main cities.
Recent rule changes by the state government have also made it easier for industries to choose renewable energy. These changes simplify the process and support cleaner power options.
Nationwide, the company aims to install a large amount of new rooftop solar capacity over the next three years.
In Chhattisgarh, the company has already set up rooftop solar systems that can generate 252 megawatts of power. Most of this powers businesses, while some helps homes. Just in this financial year, the company added significant new solar capacity for both businesses and households. Over the next three years, it plans to greatly expand its solar installations in the state.
Tata Power Renewables has already completed several major solar projects in Chhattisgarh. These include a large solar and battery storage facility in Rajnandgaon, a 30-megawatt solar plant in Badbhoom and Mundgaon, and 100 small solar grids that brought electricity to remote villages.
