These PPAs entail the development of 1,500 MW of solar and 688 MW of wind projects, with commissioning expected over the next 24 months. ReNew's expansion aligns with India's goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity and reducing carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030. Since its establishment in 2011, ReNew has played a significant role in fostering sustainability in the Indian economy. With an operational capacity of approximately 9.5 GW, ReNew is poised to annually generate around 21 billion units of clean electricity, sufficient to power six million households and mitigate approximately 17 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
