In India, Open Access power allows large consumers to purchase electricity directly from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) located in the same or neighboring states. This solution is particularly beneficial for businesses that do not have enough space for on-site solar installations. By enabling large-scale power users to choose their electricity provider, Open Access promotes competition among power suppliers and creates a more transparent and cost-effective electricity market.

Through Open Access, companies with a minimum connected load can directly procure renewable energy from IPPs, helping them achieve their sustainability goals while reducing their carbon footprint. This model is a key driver of renewable energy adoption in India, especially for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) consumers with significant power needs.

At PV RoofSolar, we are currently developing dedicated solar parks across Western India to meet the growing energy demands of large C&I consumers. These solar parks provide a reliable, off-site source of renewable energy on a captive basis. Businesses can procure power from these solar parks, ensuring a steady supply of clean energy without the need for on-site solar infrastructure.

In today’s highly competitive business environment, long-term power planning is crucial for sustainability and cost-efficiency. As more companies commit to reducing their environmental impact, off-site solar solutions like Open Access are becoming an attractive option. These solutions offer reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy that helps businesses thrive in the long run.
