As renewable energy evolves beyond conventional solar installations, HPCL, through its renewable energy subsidiary HPCL Renewable and Green Energy (HPRGE), is adopting innovative models that combine clean power generation with efficient utilisation of land, water and existing infrastructure, stated the company.
Currently, HPCL has an operational renewable energy portfolio of 253 MW, comprising solar and wind assets. Its 100.9 MW wind portfolio is being used for captive consumption, utility supplies and power trading on the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX). Further, HPRGE is also executing more than 200 MWp of solar projects across ground-mounted, rooftop, agri-solar and floating solar formats.
HPRGE’s agri-solar project in Delhi supplies renewable power to 24 HPCL retail outlets under the Group Net Metering policy. The project uses solar modules installed on elevated structures with more than 3.5 metres of ground clearance, allowing agricultural activities to continue below the panels.
The company has also commissioned its first floating solar project at the reservoir of HPCL’s Vizag refinery. Two more floating solar projects are under execution at the Pachpadra and Nachna reservoirs of HPCL Rajasthan Refinery. The Nachna project is being integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The floating solar projects are designed to use existing water bodies without requiring additional land acquisition and can also reduce water evaporation from the reservoirs.
HPRGE has commissioned ground-mounted solar projects at Jalgaon in Maharashtra and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh to supply renewable power to HPCL’s marketing locations in the two states. Two other ground-mounted projects in Gujarat and Haryana have achieved mechanical completion.
Construction has also progressed on HPRGE’s 140 MWp solar project at Galiveedu in Andhra Pradesh. The company is developing additional utility-scale captive renewable energy projects for HPCL’s refineries, terminals and marketing locations across multiple states.
Commenting on the renewable energy journey, Mohit Dhawan, CEO - HPRGE, said, “Renewable energy is not just about generating clean power; it is about using our resources smarter. Our agri-solar projects enable farming and solar generation to coexist on the same land, creating an inclusive model where clean energy supports additional income and prosperity for farmers. Our floating solar projects use the unused surface of reservoirs, avoiding competition for land while also reducing evaporation and conserving water. They can also be implemented faster than conventional ground-mounted projects in suitable locations. For us, the focus is clear: generate clean energy, use land and water more efficiently, create value for communities, and accelerate HPCL’s journey towards a sustainable future.”
