The Grid-Connected Solar PV Power Project in Bhagwanpura, located in the Javad tehsil of Neemach district, Madhya Pradesh, India a visionary initiative, implemented by Welspun Solar Madhya Pradesh Private Limited (WSMPPL), signifies a monumental step towards sustainability and environmental stewardship.

The purpose of this project is to reduce emissions from household cooking stoves. The use of non-renewable fuel such as wood and charcoal for cooking, leads to the emission of greenhouses gasses, deforestation and poor indoor climate. The programme uses a number of different technologies to reach this goal.

This Programme of Activities (PoA) generates solar power which is supplied to the grid system of India. The PoA’s objective is to develop a carbon platform for overcoming hurdles encountered during implementation of small-scale solar power projects in India. The project activities under this PoA are the first of their kind…
