Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has partnered with CleanMax to source hybrid renewable energy for its manufacturing facilities in Gujarat, marking a significant step towards industrial decarbonisation and sustainable operations.

The project will comprise 75.90 MW of wind power capacity and 84.34 MWp of solar power capacity, with the entire power generated being supplied to GACL’s Dahej and Vadodara plants under a group captive arrangement. The initiative is expected to generate around 36.9 crore units of clean energy annually.

According to the companies, the project could help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2.64 lakh tonnes per year, equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting nearly 15.27 million trees annually. The renewable energy facilities will be developed across four sites in Gujarat—Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula, and Ghuntu—and will be executed in two phases.

The collaboration supports GACL’s long-term sustainability goals while enhancing energy reliability and cost efficiency for its energy-intensive chlor-alkali operations. For CleanMax, the agreement represents its largest group captive renewable energy deal to date and further strengthens its presence in Gujarat’s industrial renewable energy market.

The partnership underscores the growing adoption of renewable energy by large industrial players as they work towards reducing carbon emissions and supporting India's net-zero ambitions.
