ACEN, in partnership with UPC Renewables, has launched construction of two major renewable energy projects in India—a 420 MW solar farm in Rajasthan and a 120 MW wind farm in Karnataka. These developments mark a critical step in the companies’ strategic expansion into India, one of the world's fastest-growing clean energy markets.

The projects are scheduled for completion by early 2027 and will collectively generate 1,158 GWh of clean electricity annually—enough to power approx. 2,41,000 homes and prevent over 8,76,000 tonne of carbon emissions each year. The 420 MW solar project, located in Rajasthan’s high-irradiance Barmer region, is expected to contribute 767 GWh annually, while the 120 MW wind farm in Karnataka is designed to generate 391 GWh annually by utilising strong monsoonal winds and favorable terrain.

Beyond environmental benefits, the projects will create over 1,500 green work roles during the construction phase, aiding local employment and regional economic growth. “These developments reflect our long-term commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition in India,” said a senior ACEN executive. Both projects align with India's renewable energy goals and represent a significant addition to ACEN and UPC’s international green portfolio.
