Business Wire
- ReNew is among the fastest clean energy companies to achieve
the 10 GW milestone.
- The Company is one of the leading solar and wind energy
producers in India, contributing approximately 10 percent of
India’s overall RE generation.
ReNew (the “Company”), among the largest clean energy companies
globally, announced on Wednesday that it has completed construction
of 1.94 GW of RE assets in FY24, taking the cumulative capacity set
up by the company to over 10 GW. Accounting for assets sold, the
Company’s revenue generating capacity stands at 9.52 GW as on March
31, 2024. The Company added 1,174 MW of solar and 768 MW of wind
energy during FY24. This is one of the highest ever capacity
additions of wind energy among all companies in India, in a single
year.
In FY24, ReNew contributed approximately 10 percent of India’s
total solar and wind energy generation. The Company has India’s
largest wind portfolio of 4.7 GW, representing 10.5 percent of
India’s total wind energy capacity. In 2023-24, ReNew won auctions
to supply 4.8 GW (PPA) RE capacity, accounting for 10.1 percent of
the total capacity for which tenders were concluded during the
year. Looking ahead, this would enable the Company to double our RE
asset portfolio to 20 GW by 2027/28.
ReNew has a deep presence across the country with over 150
renewable energy sites across 10 Indian states and employs more
than 4,000 people. The Company is among the top ten renewable
energy companies globally (ex-China), thanks to its balanced
portfolio of solar and wind energy. It has also achieved backward
integration through the manufacturing of solar modules and cells.
ReNew’s B2B vertical has marquee customers such as Amazon,
Microsoft, Toyota, Suzuki, Ultratech Cement and DCM Shriram.
ReNew’s expansion plans are driven by its strong fundamentals.
As on December 31, 2023, the Company has a balance sheet size of
around US$ 10.6 billion (~INR 88,600 crore), with strong visibility
of funding for current and future projects.
Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairperson and Chief Executive
Officer of ReNew said, “I am incredibly proud of the work we
have done to reach this milestone. ReNew continues to be at the
heart of India's transformation as a clean energy leader and our
ambitions now are even bigger. We will double the amount of clean
energy we generate over the next few years, while continuing our
work to be completely carbon neutral as a company by 2040.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid out a bold vision of
trebling India’s renewable energy capacity by the end of the
decade, and we are committed to ensuring that India becomes a
global leader in clean energy.”
The Company's expansion of its operational capability comes as
India targets to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity
and reduce its projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by
2030.
Established in 2011, ReNew has been a trailblazer in India’s
renewable energy industry. The Company started its operations with
a 25 MW wind project in Gujarat and entered the solar energy space
in 2014. ReNew became the first clean energy firm to cross
operating capacity of 1 GW in 2016 and doubled it to 2 GW the very
next year. In 2019, ReNew became the first Indian renewable energy
company to achieve the 5 GW milestone. The Company was listed on
Nasdaq in 2021 with an enterprise valuation of over US$8 billion.
The Company’s total capacity then was over 6 GW. During FY 2023-24,
ReNew added 1.94 GW in FY 2023-24, one of the largest capacity
additions in a year.
The Company has been playing a significant role in greening the
Indian economy over the past decade. With a capacity close to 10
GW, ReNew will generate 21 billion units of clean electricity -
enough to power 5.9 million households, and avoid 17 million tonnes
of CO2 emissions annually. During the past seven years, ReNew
helped avoid around 72 million tonnes of carbon emissions.
As a responsible corporate citizen, ReNew works closely with
communities to create a positive impact at the grassroot level, and
has saved over 600 million litres of water through deployment of
robotic cleaning on solar modules in the past three years. The
Company’s social initiatives have benefitted more than 1 million
people across India.
ReNew has also taken the lead in adopting Fourth Industrial
Revolution technologies. The Company has deployed advanced
analytics across its solar and wind portfolio to enhance asset
performance by 35 percent.
ReNew has received significant international recognition for its
work. This includes being named by MIT Technology Review in their
2023 global list of Top 15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch; being
recognized twice by the World Economic Forum as part of their
Global Lighthouse Network and being declared as an Energy
Transition Changemaker at the UN’s COP28.
