NLCIL produces 12.34 billion units of green power, targets 10,000 MW renewable capacity by 2030

State-owned NLC India Ltd (NLCIL) has generated 12.34 billion units of green power, preventing the emission of 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, according to a statement by the coal ministry. Traditionally a lignite-based power producer, NLCIL is now aiming to achieve 10,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

NLCIL has already established 1,380 MW of solar power plants and 51 MW of wind power plants. To reach its ambitious renewable energy target, NLCIL has launched two subsidiaries: NLC India Renewables Ltd (NIRL) for asset monetisation and NLC India Green Energy Ltd (NIGEL) to drive clean energy projects.

With a current renewable energy capacity of 1.4 GW, NLCIL plans to quadruple this by 2030, with significant projects underway in Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Assam. Last month, NLCIL signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Telangana state discoms for 200 MW of solar energy under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) scheme, further advancing its green energy goals.
