Apraava Energy’s Solar-Based Community Initiatives Light Up Close to 60,000 Lives in India

National, June 06, 2024: Apraava Energy, India’s leading integrated energy solutions provider, has positively impacted close to 60,000 people from disadvantaged communities across India through its five-year-long solar development program. With people and planet at its core, these initiatives have been implemented in partnership with SELCO, in close to 40 villages and reduced over 130 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year which is equivalent to planting 6500 trees per year.

From enhancing the safety of young girls in schools to electrifying healthcare centres and creating employment opportunities for differently abled individuals and women, these community interventions have ensured all-round development.

Below are the key highlights of the impact on the community through Solar Solutions across five states including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana, and Telangana:

  • Solar lighting installations in villages and schools have provided a sense of safety and security to the people, whether moving about in the evenings or protecting themselves from venomous creatures such as snakes and scorpions.
  • Solar electrification in primary health centres has ensured uninterrupted functionality of essential facilities such as labour rooms, baby warmers, and vaccine cold supply chains.
  • E-Shala, solar-based fans, and lighting have enhanced access to and the quality of pre-primary education (Anganwadi) in rural areas.
  • Digital education kits have enhanced the quality of learning and increased enrolment.
  • Interactive learning tools with curated educational content have benefited teachers.
  • Solar-powered appliances such as fridges, copiers, scanners, printers, and roti-rolling machines have created employment opportunities for differently abled individuals and women.

Commenting on the success of the initiatives, Dr. Priyesh Modi, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Apraava Energy, said, “We are proud to bring our core value of sustainability through responsibility into action by creating solar-powered solutions for the communities that reside around our operations. These interventions have not only focused on all-round community development, but also helped reduce significant greenhouse emissions. Apraava remains committed to working with the communities to address their needs and contribute to building a sustainable future for India.”

India Witnessed Record Quarterly Solar Installations with 10 GW

May 24, 2024 – India installed over 10 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, the highest amount to date for a quarter. Solar capacity additions rose nearly 400% compared to over 2 GW installed in Q1 2023, according to the recently released Q1 2024 India Solar Market Update by Mercom India Research.

Solar capacity additions were up 414% compared to nearly 2 GW added in Q4 2023.

Large-scale solar accounted for 9.7 GW, including 1.8 GW of open access solar projects. Solar capacity additions for large-scale projects rose 524% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and 534% year-over-year (YoY).

In Q1 2024, solar project installations surged due to a variety of factors, including the commissioning of projects that were delayed from earlier quarters. Developers capitalized on falling module prices, suspension of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) order, and grid connectivity approvals of solar projects previously hindered by the habitat of Great Indian Bustard (GIB).

“There is a substantial pipeline of large-scale projects scheduled for 2024, positioning India for a record-breaking year by a significant margin. Assuming stability in policy and supply chains, and if government agencies continue to auction projects and meet the set targets, India is poised to be among the top three solar markets globally”, commented Raj Prabhu, CEO at Mercom Capital Group.

In Q1 2024, India added 15.2 GW of new power capacity. Solar power accounted for 66% of the new capacity additions during the quarter.

Rajasthan and Gujarat led large-scale solar installations in the quarter, accounting for 38% and 35% of the capacity additions. Madhya Pradesh ranked third, with 8%.

As of March 2024, India’s cumulative installed solar capacity stood at 82 GW. Solar energy accounted for 18.5% of India’s total installed power capacity and 43% of the total installed renewable energy capacity.

At the end of Q1 2024, Rajasthan had the highest cumulative installed large-scale solar capacity, accounting for 29% of the country’s total installations. Gujarat and Karnataka followed with 14% each.

India’s large-scale solar project pipeline stood at 143 GW, with another 93 GW of projects tendered and pending auction at the end of Q1 2024.

The average cost of large-scale solar projects fell 7% QoQ and 28% YoY, significantly improving the internal rate of return on these projects.

Tenders totaling 30.7 GW were announced during the quarter, up 122% YoY and 92% QoQ. In Q1 2024, 25 GW of solar projects were auctioned, up 229% QoQ and 2,957% YoY.
