Amp Energy India, a leading renewable energy transition platform in India, has commissioned a 5 MW solar power plant for one of India’s leading vaccine biopharmaceutical majors- BSV.
This state-of-the-art solar project, commissioned in the last quarter of 2022 supplies solar power to BSV’s manufacturing facility in Ambernath, Maharashtra from Amp’s Open access facility in Osmanabad district, Maharashtra.
