In a significant advancement for India's renewable energy sector, ReNew signed a green attribute sale contract of 437.6 MW with Microsoft, aiming to generate over one million units of green electricity attributes annually. This strategic partnership highlights Microsoft's goal to achieve carbon negativity by 2030 and strengthens ReNew's dedication to promoting global decarbonisation efforts.
