Sunsure Energy Commissions 82.5 MWp Solar Plant in Jhansi, Expanding Uttar Pradesh Portfolio to 260 MWp

Sunsure Energy, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions for India’s businesses and utilities, has commissioned an 82.5 MWp open access solar power plant in Erach, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh—its tenth facility in the state. This milestone further strengthens Sunsure Energy’s presence in Uttar Pradesh, where it now operates 260 MWp of open access solar capacity across Agra, Banda, Mahoba, Jhansi, and Chitrakoot, supplying green power to industries in FMCG, ceramics, metals, and chemical sectors.

The Jhansi plant is expected to generate 12.8 crore units of electricity annually and offset more than 2.2 million tonnes of CO₂e over its lifetime. The project supports Uttar Pradesh’s clean energy transition while providing reliable, cost-competitive renewable power to local industries. With this achievement, Sunsure Energy reaffirms its commitment to advancing the state’s renewable energy goals and strengthening industrial sustainability.

“We began developing solar plants in Uttar Pradesh in 2021 with a 15 MW facility in Pailani. This latest project marks our 10th plant in the state and brings our operational capacity close to 300 MW – a 20-fold growth in just four years. With the ongoing industrial resurgence in Uttar Pradesh, ensuring the availability of green and clean energy to fuel this growth is imperative. As a net importer of energy, UP depends heavily on external sources to meet its power demand, and being able to support and power its industries with clean energy generated within the state is a responsibility we embrace with deep commitment,” said Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Sunsure Energy.

“Uttar Pradesh’s Solar Energy Policy 2022 has made it clear that clean energy is central to the state’s development goals. Open access solar, rooftop solar, and third-party power sales have emerged as key procurement strategies for industrial consumers. Through progressive banking provisions and waivers on electricity duty, transmission, and wheeling charges, the state has given independent power producers (IPPs) like Sunsure the confidence to invest in large-scale and now storage-backed solutions that deliver cost-competitive power, while enabling industries to transition to green power and reduce their environmental impact,” added Mr. Sharma.
