Kalpa Power Enters EHV-Scale Renewable Infra with 140 MWp Mukhed 2 Hybrid-Ready RE Park
Kalpa Power has commissioned the 28 MWp Mukhed 1 project and commenced development of the 140 MWp EHV-connected Mukhed 2 hybrid-ready renewable energy park in Maharashtra, marking its entry into EHV-scale renewable energy infrastructure to serve large industrial consumers, energy-intensive manufacturing facilities and emerging data centres.

The development marks Kalpa Power's entry into EHV-scale renewable energy infrastructure, creating a storage-ready platform designed to meet the growing power requirements of large industrial consumers, energy-intensive manufacturing facilities and emerging data centre developments across Maharashtra, the company stated.
It further added that together, the projects represent a significant expansion of Kalpa Power's renewable energy footprint and support the company's ambition to achieve 5 GW of installed capacity by 2030.
Unlike conventional open-access solar parks that typically operate on 33 kV or 66 kV connections, Mukhed 2 is being developed with dedicated 132 kV EHV connectivity and evacuation infrastructure. The project is designed as a plug-and-play renewable energy platform with bay allocation, regulatory support and readiness for future battery storage and hybrid renewable energy integration. This infrastructure-led approach enables larger-scale renewable energy procurement and provides greater flexibility for consumers with significant and evolving power requirements, the company asserted.
As renewable energy adoption accelerates, businesses are increasingly seeking reliable and scalable clean power rather than standalone daytime solar generation. Improving BESS economics and supportive policy frameworks are making renewable-plus-storage infrastructure increasingly viable, creating demand for energy solutions capable of delivering greater reliability, flexibility and long-term cost efficiencies.
Both Mukhed 1 and Mukhed 2 have been designed with Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration built in, reflecting Kalpa Power's storage-ready and hybrid-enabled approach to renewable energy infrastructure across both HV and EHV-connected assets. The projects also align with Maharashtra's Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Policy 2025-26 to 2035-36, which encourages renewable-plus-storage projects to enhance grid reliability, improve energy availability and accelerate clean energy adoption across the state.
Commenting on the development, Rounak Muthiyan, Founder and Managing Director, Kalpa Power said, “The economics of BESS are evolving rapidly this year. What was once considered a premium add-on is now the most financially rational choice for any C&I consumer in Maharashtra. With Mukhed, we are expanding into EHV-connected infrastructure, one that lets us serve the scale and complexity that data centres and large industrial consumers need. Combined with storage-ready design, we're building an energy ecosystem that is designed for round-the-clock, reliable power.”
Together, the two projects span approximately 480 acres. The 140 MWp Mukhed 2 project is expected to generate approximately 217 million units of green electricity annually, avoiding an estimated 1.55 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. The commissioned 28 MWp Mukhed 1 facility is projected to generate approximately 43.4 million units annually, avoiding an estimated 31,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, the company stated.
As industries increasingly pursue RE100, ESG and Net Zero commitments, renewable energy infrastructure will need to evolve beyond capacity addition toward greater reliability, flexibility and round-the-clock clean energy delivery. Through these two parks, Kalpa Power is building the next generation of renewable energy infrastructure, combining EHV connectivity, storage readiness and scalable clean power delivery to support the evolving needs of industrial consumers, data centres and other energy-intensive sectors, the company asserted.
