ITC Limited has commissioned its first offsite solar plant with 14.9 MW capacity at Dindigul in Tamil Nadu. Built at an investment of Rs 76 crore, the facility will help reduce CO2 emissions for its lifetime.
The plant has already helped the leading business group meet 90 per cent of its electricity requirement from renewable sources in the state.
Set up over a sprawling 59-acre area, the solar plant will generate more than 22 million units of renewable energy annually for ITC’s hotels, food manufacturing plants, paper manufacturing facility, and printing and packaging factories.
A company statement said the facility has been built with the latest in solar technology and complies with all national and international standards on design and safety.
