HeidelbergCement India Strengthens its footprint towards Renewable Energy

HeidelbergCement India Limited has commissioned a 5.5 Mega Watt (MW) Solar Power Plant at its mining area located in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh. The mining operations and clinker plant at Damoh has started receiving supply of electricity. The solar plant is expected to generate 10 Gigawatt hours per annum solar energy and will replace electricity purchased under short term open access and from grid.

The expected CO 2 savings by generating solar energy would be ~ 225,000 tonnes over the standard life of the plant. The commissioning of the Solar Plant is yet another milestone in reducing CO 2 footprint. On this occasion, Jamshed N Cooper, Managing Director shared that “HeidelbergCement India Limited reaffirms its commitment to increase its share of green energy and spearhead in its sustainability initiatives”. When you will make a difference, it can prompt other people in the neighbourhood to make the change too!
