Sunsure Energy, the preferred renewable energy solutions provider for India’s leading businesses transitioning to green power, is pleased to announce the signing of a 13.5 MWp solar Open Access Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), one of the global leaders in fluid management solutions. Through this agreement, Sunsure Energy will supply nearly 2 crore units of green power annually to KBL’s manufacturing facilities in Kirloskarvadi (Dist – Sangli) and Kohlapur, enabling the company to achieve significant progress in its sustainability initiatives.
The solar power supplied under the agreement will help KBL meet around 75% of its energy requirements for both facilities from clean, renewable sources. This transition will also allow KBL to offset 14,200 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions annually, reinforcing their strong commitment to reducing environmental impact.
KBL has long been a champion of sustainability, integrating green practices into its operations. The company’s corporate office in Pune is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Platinum rated green building whereas four of its manufacturing plants are GreenCo certified by CII. It has also received the CII GreenPro Ecolabel certification for its pumps (DBxe & LLCTM Horizontal Split Case Pump Series) and castings (Cast Iron & Alloy Cast Stee Foundry) as a result of their low environmental impact and adherence to global sustainability standards. This PPA agreement will further advance their sustainability initiatives.
