Grid power costs escalate 7-9% annually. Zero long-term certainty.
Solar offtake alternative: 10–25 year price protection. Zero capex. Grid backup maintained.
Pricing note: 15-year preferred PPA, extendable up to 25 years. ₹5.0–₹5.5/kWh indicative daytime solar. Plant-side BESS (park) and on-site BESS (facility) are optional, scoped separately.
What direct PPA means
Not replacing grid. Adding cheaper dedicated supply.
Traditional Power:
- Utility grid
- Variable pricing + annual escalation
- Open access fees
- Backup separate
Direct Solar PPA:
- Dedicated solar — BESS-ready; plant-side storage optional on request
- Indicative ₹/kWh band (escalation only if contracted)
- Minimum delivery commitment
- Grid connection maintained
- Add Reliability tier for on-site BESS at your facility
Result: Lower blended cost. Budget certainty. Operations unchanged.
Three options
Option 1: Parallel Supply
- Keep utility connection
- Add solar for daytime
- Use both simultaneously
- Grid = backup + night
- Blended cost drops 15-25%
Option 2: Capacity Optimization
- Reduce grid capacity
- Replace with solar + battery
- Minimum grid for backup
- Reduce demand charges
Option 3: Full Replacement
- Solar + battery primary
- Grid emergencies only
- Maximum savings
- Detailed feasibility required
Most facilities choose Option 1: Add solar. Keep grid. Start saving.
Why industrial works
High Consumption:
- 10-100 MW typical load
- 80-200 GWh annual
- ₹7-20 crore annual spend
- Small rate cuts = large savings
Predictable Load:
- 24/7 operations
- Consistent patterns
- High utilization
- Ideal for fixed commitments
Cost Sensitivity:
- Power = 20-40% of production cost
- Energy impacts pricing
- Margin pressure from escalation
- Need long-term certainty
Land Available:
- Space for panels
- Rooftop + ground options
- Behind-the-meter install
- No land acquisition
Example scenarios
50 MW Steel Mill — Jharsuguda
- Current: 175 GWh annual, costs escalating
- With Solar PPA: 70% solar, 30% grid
- Blended cost reduction: 18-22% year one
- 15-year preferred PPA, extendable up to 25 years
35 MW Chemical Plant — Angul
- Current: ₹3.2 crore monthly, escalating 8%

- Projected: ₹2.6 crore monthly blended
- Long-term price protection per contract
28 MW Textile Mill — Sambalpur
- 20 MW solar + 8 MWh battery
- Grid maintained for backup
- Cost reduction: 21% year one
- 99.5%+ uptime target

Grid vs PPA costs
40 MW Facility Example
Grid Only:
- Year 1: ₹11.5 crore (₹8.2/kWh)
- Year 5: ₹16.1 crore (8% growth)
- Year 10: ₹23.6 crore
- Year 20: ₹53.5 crore
- Uncertainty: High
Solar PPA (70/30 blend):
- Year 1: ₹9.3 crore
- Year 5: ₹10.4 crore
- Year 10: ₹12.2 crore
- Year 20: ₹18.6 crore
- 20-year savings: ₹134 crore
- Uncertainty: Low
Dedicated Plant (You Own):
- Capex: varies (solar; BESS optional when scoped)
- Year 1: illustrative savings vs grid
- Plant-side BESS optional for evening delivery or firm supply
- Lowest total cost, highest capital need
- Add Reliability tier for on-site backup
Each model works differently. We help you choose.

The reality
Your industry needs reliable power. Predictable costs. Zero surprises.
Grid delivers reliability. But costs escalate. Planning = guesswork.
Solar PPA delivers both: Reliability by design. Certainty by contract.
You don't abandon grid. You supplement with cheaper, predictable solar.
For 10+ MW facilities with ₹5+ crore annual power bills.
For CFOs needing 20-year certainty.
For operations teams who can't tolerate interruptions.
We develop solar for industrial offtake — solar-first; plant-side and on-site BESS optional. Zero capex Direct PPA where structured. 10–25 year price protection with indicative daytime solar band. Grid backup maintained. Add Reliability tier for on-site backup. Request an indicative proposal.
Request a feasibility analysis—we'll model your load, show costs vs current spend, and structure a PPA that works with your existing agreements.
