To most industries, electricity bills do not only form a cost but also a burden on profitability. Surge in tariffs, fluctuating oil prices, and enormous demand charges have the potential to devour margins leaving very little margin to expand.
What would happen, though, if your electricity bill could go down to nothing? That does not have to be a dream anymore, in case of a well-conceived solar park solution: the area of many industries has already experienced that reality.
1. The Reality of Industrial Energy Costs
Industries in manufacturing, textiles, engineering, and heavy processing often face:
- High demand charges during peak load periods.
- Seasonal tariff hikes impacting production planning.
- Dependency on the grid and diesel generators during outages.
Over time, these costs add up to crores of rupees, making it difficult to remain competitive.
2. How a Solar Park Changes the Game
Putting a solar park in place next to fields that are not utilized around your facility, or as part of a larger grid-tied system, produces clean, renewable power which is then used directly in your operations.
Here’s how it helps achieve zero bills:
• Captive or open-access power to replace 100 percent of grid consumption.
• Removing the fuel expenses of diesel or gas-mode backup system.
• Securing low tariffs on long-term basis so as to have predictable energy cost.
3. Key Approaches to Achieve Zero Bills
a) Captive Model Solar Park
The solar plant (installed by GRE) belongs to your industry and it consumes all produced power internally and limits or even does not need externally supplied grid electricity.
b) Group Captive Model
A bigger solar park is owned collectively among several industries, each having its cost advantage and economies of scale.
c) PPA Open Access Power Purchase Agreements
You enter a long-term power purchase agreement at a fixed price, with either GRE or another provider of a renewable resource, and this rate should be less than your grid rate.
4. The Financial Impact
Let’s take an example:
A medium-sized manufacturing plant with a monthly electricity bill of ₹20 lakh installs a 5 MW solar park.
- Generation capacity: ~7,500 MWh/year.
- Savings: Over ₹2.4 crore annually.
- Payback period: 3–5 years (depending on financing model).
After the payback period, the electricity cost is virtually zero — with the plant generating free power for another 20+ years.
5. Beyond Cost Savings – Strategic Advantages
- Energy independence – No more dependency on fluctuating tariffs.
- Sustainability compliance – Meet ESG and CSR targets while improving brand value.
- Carbon footprint reduction – Significant CO₂ savings, appealing to eco-conscious customers and investors.
