Hyderabad, Sept 25 (TNT): Mumbai-based Oyster Renewable on Friday announced a partnership with MS Agarwal Foundries Pvt Ltd to develop a 48 MWp solar-wind hybrid renewable energy project in Andhra Pradesh.
The project is aimed at supplying reliable renewable power to MS Agarwal Foundries by combining solar and wind generation, the company said in a release.
Once operational, the facility is expected to generate more than 12.2 crore units of renewable electricity annually and help avoid around 86,620 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the company.
The project will be Oyster Renewable’s third renewable energy project in Andhra Pradesh and is expected to further expand its presence in the state.
The development comes amid Andhra Pradesh’s focus on renewable energy under its Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, which supports solar, wind and hybrid projects and the development of Renewable Energy Zones.
Commenting on the partnership, Oyster Renewable COO Ateesh Samant said hybrid projects could provide a steadier renewable power supply by combining solar and wind generation, particularly for energy-intensive industries.
He said the partnership with MS Agarwal Foundries would support the adoption of renewable energy in the industrial sector and contribute to the company’s long-term presence in Andhra Pradesh.
Oyster Renewable said the project forms part of its efforts to expand its hybrid renewable energy portfolio and work with industrial consumers to increase the use of renewable power.
