This achievement further solidifies Sunsure Energy's position as a key renewable energy provider in Uttar Pradesh, with 260 MWp open access solar plants operating in Agra, Banda, Mahoba, Jhansi, and Chitrakoot, supplying power to industries across FMCG, ceramics, metals, and chemical sectors, the company said in a statement.
The Jhansi project is expected to generate 12.8 crore units of power annually and offset more than 2.20 million tonnes of CO₂e over its lifetime, directly supporting Uttar Pradesh’s clean energy transition while offering reliable, cost-competitive green power to industries in the state.
Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Sunsure Energy, said, “We began developing solar plants in Uttar Pradesh in 2021 with a 15 MW facility in Pailani. This latest project marks our 10th plant in the state and brings our operational capacity close to 300 MW – a 20-fold growth in just four years. With the ongoing industrial resurgence in Uttar Pradesh, ensuring the availability of green and clean energy to fuel this growth is imperative. As a net importer of energy, UP depends heavily on external sources to meet its power demand, and being able to support and power its industries with clean energy generated within the state is a responsibility we embrace with deep commitment.”
He further added, “Uttar Pradesh’s Solar Energy Policy 2022 has made it clear that clean energy is central to the state’s development goals. Open access solar, rooftop solar, and third-party power sales have emerged as key procurement strategies for industrial consumers. Through progressive banking provisions and waivers on electricity duty, transmission, and wheeling charges, the state has given independent power producers (IPPs) like Sunsure the confidence to invest in large-scale and now storage-backed solutions that deliver cost-competitive power, while enabling industries to transition to green power and reduce their environmental impact.”
Sunsure currently supply power to a distributed consumer base across sectors such as steel, cement, FMCG, and data centers. “Our 82.5 MW Jhansi plant will be supplying power to Haldiram’s, APL Apollo, and one of the biggest data centers in the country,” shared Sharma.
He further added, “With innovation as one of our key compasses, we have evolved from plain vanilla solar to integrated solar + BESS solutions, offering utilities and industrial consumers round-the-clock (RTC) clean power, effectively addressing peak hour demand and ensuring cost-efficient and reliable power supply. With close to 300 MW today and on track to 500 MW by FY26, we are breaking new ground with a 125 MW/500 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), secured through our recent NTPC bid win.”
Sunsure is rapidly expanding its presence in Uttar Pradesh under its UP Shakti initiative – a vision to power the state’s growth with clean, reliable energy. Currently, Sunsure Energy supplies power to industrial customers like Jindal Stainless, Kajaria Ceramics, Wonder Cement, Gallantt Ispat, Dabur, APL Apollo, Haldiram’s, to name a few.
With 600 MW of operational assets, and 7.50 GW under various stages of development across states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Karnataka, Sunsure Energy has a target of 10 GW portfolio by 2030.
