Sterling and Wilson, part of Shapoorji Pallonji Group and one of India’s leading solar EPC companies with over 350 MW of solar projects spread across 13 states, has commissioned more than 140 megawatts (MW) of solar power generation plants in India during 2014 – 2015.
These Solar Photovoltaic power projects have been developed for various private sector institutions across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Bikesh Ogra, President, Sterling and Wilson, Electrical & Solar Business in a statement said, “Our engineering capability coupled with our technical know-how has enabled us to deliver most of our projects in an efficient manner on or before the deadlines set by our clients."
According to Sterling and Wilson, the cumulative power output from the 140 MWs of solar power projects commissioned by them within 365 days would be able to light up 2,00,000 Indian homes or approximately 4 times the number of households in New Delhi.
From an environmental perspective, Sterling and Wilson has helped in reducing the country’s carbon footprint by decreasing its dependency on coal for captive power generation by 70 tonnes per year, which is the approximate amount of coal required to generate around 140 MW of electricity.
It has been ranked the top solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company in India by the Hong Kong-based IHS Research.
