Delta Electronics India has signed a 12-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to source wind power for its operations in Tamil Nadu. The deal covers 9.6 million units of wind-generated electricity annually.
Ventus Energy Consultancy Private Limited facilitated the PPA. Power will be routed through Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO). Wind energy will be supplied from farms in Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, and Tiruppur.
This move is expected to reduce Delta’s carbon emissions by nearly 6,979 metric tonnes each year.
