The company has a 160 MW operational capacity in Uttar Pradesh and its customers in the state include some of the largest businesses across diverse sectors like Dabur, Inox Air Products, Kajaria, APL Apollo, Merino Industries, Orient Bell, amongst others.
In a landmark move towards sustainable industrial growth, Sunsure Energy, a leading independent power producer, today signed a 11 MWp long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with JSL Super Steel, a Ghaziabad-based subsidiary of Jindal Stainless Limited, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer. As per the agreement, this facility will source 11 MWp of solar power from Sunsure’s 49 MWp Solar Project in Augasi, Uttar Pradesh, displacing nearly 40 per cent of its conventional energy consumption with clean power. This project will be a part of the Uttar Pradesh State Power Banking Policy, aligning with the state’s vision for energy security and efficient power management.
Sunsure Energy's partnership with JSL Super Steel will further strengthen its mission of advancing India’s commercial and industrial renewable energy adoption. The partnership will enable JSL Super Steel to receive 16.5 million units (MUs) of clean energy annually, helping the company offset 12 million kilograms of carbon emissions per year - equivalent to planting over 5.45 Lacs trees. This move aligns with India's growing push for green steel production, an industry-wide transformation that aims to curb emissions in one of the most energy-intensive sectors.
