In Gujarat, CleanMax is developing a 16.83 MW hybrid renewable energy plant, comprising 6.93 MWp of solar and 9.90 MW of wind capacity. Implemented under the group-captive model, the project will supply renewable power to Shell's LNG terminal at Hazira. The hybrid configuration is designed to support the energy-intensive operations of the LNG terminal, enhancing supply stability and operational resilience, the company stated.
In Karnataka, CleanMax is developing a 13.2 MW hybrid renewable energy plant, consisting of 9.9 MWp of solar capacity in Jagalur and 3.3 MW of wind capacity in Honawad. The power will be supplied to the Shell Technology Centre in Bengaluru, Shell's third global technology centre, a state-of-the-art innovation and technology hub with advanced engineering, digital, and pilot testing facilities for current and future energy systems.
Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, said, “We are delighted to partner with Shell in India to lower the carbon footprint of its operations in Gujarat and Karnataka, in line with the company's net zero ambitions. This enables critical operations across key markets to adopt cleaner energy, and to me, signals a crucial phase in corporate leadership, one where sustainability is integrated directly into core operational decision-making.”
He further added, “Commercial and Industrial consumers account for nearly half of India's electricity demand, making corporates key to the country's energy transition. Long-term, tailored, renewable solutions will therefore play a critical role in enabling businesses to reduce carbon intensity while ensuring reliability and cost stability.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Mansi Madan Tripathy, Chairperson, Shell Group of Companies India and SVP, Shell Lubricants, Asia Pacific, said, “As energy demand grows across complex assets, hybrid renewable solutions offer a practical pathway to balance reliability with a need to decarbonise operations. Our collaboration with CleanMax reflects this approach across key facilities in Gujarat and Karnataka, supporting Shell's ongoing efforts to decarbonise its operations and be a trusted partner in India's energy transition roadmap.”
Together, the projects are expected to generate approximately 66,832 MWh of renewable energy annually, the company stated.
