ESSAR – Renewable Energy Initiative
Powering ESSAR with clean and reliable solar energy for sustainable operations.
Overview!
Fueling Operations with Clean Energy
The Essar Petrol Pump in Nadiad, Gujarat, has adopted a 15 kWp rooftop solar system, installed by Jalark Solar Solution OPC Private Limited, to meet its growing energy needs in a sustainable and cost-effective way. Petrol pumps demand uninterrupted power supply for daily operations, and this solar solution ensures both reliability and efficiency.
By integrating solar energy, Essar Petrol Pump not only reduces its electricity expenses but also supports India’s clean energy mission. The project highlights how essential service providers can lead the way in sustainability while maintaining smooth operations and delivering better value to customers.
Executed with Jalark Solar’s end-to-end expertise—design, engineering, installation, and integration—the system was implemented seamlessly, ensuring maximum efficiency from the start.
Implementation
- Location: Essar Petrol Pump, Nadiad, Gujarat
- Capacity: 15 kWp rooftop solar system
- Scope of Work:
- Rooftop solar panel installation
- Integration with existing power infrastructure
- Compliance with DISCOM regulations for grid-connected solar
- Monitoring system for performance tracking
Stakeholders
- Essar Pump Owner / Management
- Solar EPC Partner (Jalark Solar / execution team)
- Local electricity distribution company for approvals
- KDCC Bank provided loan facilitation for those needing financing
- Execution Timeline: Completed within weeks, ensuring minimal disruption to day-to-day operations
Outcomes
- Financial Savings: The solar system now generates approx. 60–65 units/day (≈22,000–24,000 units annually), reducing power bills by a significant margin.
- Environmental Impact: Annual CO₂ reduction of ~20 tonnes, equivalent to planting 900+ trees.
- Energy Reliability: Critical petrol pump operations (lighting, dispensing, and admin) are now powered by clean, renewable energy.
- Brand Positioning: The initiative positions Essar as an environmentally responsible fuel brand, embracing renewable energy for everyday operations.
Financial Impact
- Investment: Standard market cost for a 15 kWp rooftop system (₹7.5–8.5 lakh approx.)
- Savings: Estimated ₹1.8–2.2 lakh annual savings on electricity bills.
- Payback Period: ~4–5 years with subsidies, after which electricity is virtually free for the system’s 20+ year lifespan.
