CleanMax, backed by Brookfield, has commissioned a 92.1 MW wind-solar hybrid plant in Bengaluru, Karnataka, to power global technology leader Cisco’s India campus—one of its largest hubs outside the U.S. The project comprises 69 MWp of solar and 23.1 MW of wind energy, and will meet over 90% of Cisco’s electricity requirements in Karnataka.
With this addition, CleanMax now supplies a cumulative 120 MW of renewable energy to Cisco, including supply from a 28.7 MWp solar installation operational since March 2018.
CleanMax expects this hybrid energy solution to generate around 181.4 million kWh annually, helping offset about 129,000 metric tonnes of CO₂e emissions each year—equivalent to planting around two million trees in India annually.
“As a net-zero partner, CleanMax is focused on empowering corporations to meet their renewable energy requirements,” said Kuldeep Jain, managing director of CleanMax. “Our partnership with Cisco underscores a shared commitment to high standards and sustainable practices.”
Cisco has awarded CleanMax the Excellence in Sustainability Award, honoring its contributions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and accelerating clean energy adoption.
Mary de Wysocki, chief sustainability officer, Cisco said “Recognizing partners who have helped customers achieve substantial business outcomes, the Excellence in Sustainability Award celebrates CleanMax’s dedication to accelerating the availability of clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
CleanMax, a renewable energy solutions provider to the commercial and industrial sector, has 2 GW of operating renewable assets spread across India, Middle East, and South-East Asia.
