  • BrightNight’s100 MW co-located, wind-solar hybrid renewable power project is coming up in Maharashtra

By Business India Editorial

The US-based renewable power solutions company BrightNight announced plans for one of its inaugural projects in India: a differentiated 100 MW co-located, wind-solar hybrid renewable power project to deliver clean, high-capacity factor power to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers in Maharashtra. 

The Optima project located in Maharashtra has been developed by BrightNight's India team using its proprietary software platform, which optimizes multiple renewable technologies to meet customers' load requirements.

The renewable power project will meet up to 80 per cent of C&I customers' power consumption and potentially save customers up to 25 per cent annually on their energy bills while avoiding carbon emissions equivalent to up to 6 million tonnes for project life. The project will consist of co-located wind and solar components, making efficient utilization of grid infrastructure and enabling ease of operations for the grid operator.

"BrightNight is growing rapidly in its quest to globally deliver the next-generation of renewable power projects," BrightNight CEO Martin Hermann said. 

Having secured the grid connectivity at the state grid substation, BrightNight is targeting to commission the project by 1Q 2024. BrightNight will work with C&I customers to sign long-term power offtake agreements for the project to meet the highest portion of their power load requirements.
