ReNew Power, Mitsui partner to develop India's first round-the-clock project

The RTC project consists of three wind farms, one solar and battery storage farm.

ReNew Power has partnered with Mitsui & Co. in developing a 400-megawatt (MW) round-the-clock (RTC) project in India.

Under the power purchase agreement (PPA), Mitsui is expected to take a 49% stake of the project.

“The RTC project, the first of its kind in India, provides the lowest cost and emission-free 24 X 7 renewable electricity,” Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ReNew Power, said.

The project will consist of three newly wind farms, one solar and battery storage farm. It has a total of 1,300MW and a 100 megawatt-hour battery storage.

The project is located across Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. It is expected to provide some 400MW electricity to the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

The RTC project is targeted to start commercial operations in the third quarter of 2023.

“We view India as an extremely promising market for many reasons, including its high economic growth and strong commitment towards decarbonization,” Ryoichiro Uno, General Manager in charge of infrastructure projects in India, Middle East, and Africa of Mitsui, said.

“Through this project, Mitsui will accelerate India's clean energy transition together with ReNew.”

The 25-year PPA for the project was signed last year with SECI for supplying electricity at ₹2.90/kWh (or approximately, US 3.8¢), which will increase by 3% annually for 15 years after which it will stabilise for remaining period of the project.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
