Hindustan Zinc Secures Renewable Power from Serentica’s 180 MW Solar Project

Hindustan Zinc had entered into Power Delivery Agreements with Serentica for the supply of 450 MW of round-the-clock power, aimed at mitigating 2.7 million metric tons of carbon emissions for the company.

“Serentica has started supplying renewable energy to Hindustan Zinc from its 180 MW solar project. This is the first-of-its-kind initiative within the Vedanta group,” the company stated.

Vedanta-owned Hindustan Zinc currently has a captive solar power capacity of 40.70 MW and relies on conventional fuel sources for the rest of its power needs. The company aims to annually reduce approximately 0.45 million tons of CO2 emissions.

According to Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, the company is proactively investing in climate action initiatives to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. “This project will not only reduce our dependency on conventional fuels but will also aid our transformation towards decarbonizing our operations,” he said.
