The power generated from this project will be sold to SECI under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) lasting 25 years. This is, however, subject to the execution of the PPA and upon completion of the project, the statement said.

The Project is expected to be ready for commercial operation within 24 months from the date of signing the PPA and will be funded through a mixture of internal funds and debt.

With this award, Sembcorp’s gross renewables portfolio in India stands at 4.9GW.

This brings Sembcorp’s gross renewables capacity globally to 14.6GW, including a 49MW acquisition pending completion.

The award of the Project is in the ordinary course of business and is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share and net tangible assets per share of Sembcorp for the financial year ending December 31, 2024, it stated.
