KG Fabriks, manufacturers of denim and industrial fabrics, has inked a long-term power purchase agreement with Sunshine Solpower Generation Limited (Solfreedom).
Mumbai-based Solfreedom has developed and installed a roof-top solar power plant atop the fabric manufacturing unit, at Perundurai in Erode district.
Erode District Collector Prabhakaran inaugurated the 1.05 MW solar power plant at KG Fabriks recently. The plant, with a production capacity of 15 lakh units of power annually, is expected to meet 20 per cent of the power requirement of KG Fabriks.
According to Srihari Balakrishnan, Managing Director, KG Fabriks, the company consumes about 9 lakh units of electricity every month. The installation of the solar plant would help the company minimise the day-time peak load, act as insulation on the roof and help improve the ambient temperature within.
