New Delhi, India | 23 June
2025 – Clean energy solutions company
Gentari has commissioned a 150 MWp open-access solar plant in Wardha,
Maharashtra. Located in Dahegaon village, Yavatmal district, and connected to
the state transmission utility (STU), the project stands among the largest of
its kind in the state for commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers. It
significantly expands Gentari’s capacity to supply renewable electricity to
consumers within Maharashtra under the state’s green open access
framework.
Expected to generate
approximately 248 million units (kWh) of green electricity annually, the plant
enables industries across the state to tap into cleaner sources of energy,
potentially achieving over 238,576 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoidance each year.
With this commissioning,
Gentari’s total capacity for the C&I sector in Maharashtra now exceeds 225
MWp, reinforcing its leadership in delivering scalable, reliable, clean energy
solutions for industrial users in one of India’s most energy-intensive states.
“Maharashtra’s commercial and
industrial consumers have been showing strong momentum in the shift to clean
energy. This project supports that transition by providing reliable solar power
at scale, unlocking both environmental and operational value,” said Sharad
Pungalia, Country Head, India, Gentari.
Beyond environmental benefits, Wardha plant also generated significant
socio-economic value during its construction, engaging over 300 local workers,
deploying regional resources, and extended community outreach efforts to nearby
villages.
The project forms part of
Gentari’s broader clean energy portfolio in India and Asia Pacific, where it is
advancing integrated solutions across solar, green hydrogen, and green mobility
to accelerate the global energy transition.
