Mercom India, a leading global clean energy communications, consulting, and research firm recognised for its expertise in renewable energy, is set to host the C&I Clean Energy Meet in Navi Mumbai at the Ramada Hotel on May 18, 2023.

The day-long C&I Clean Energy Meet is designed to foster collaboration between C&I companies and leading renewable energy solution providers and will feature panel sessions and case studies that will deliver practical, real-world case studies from C&I companies that have shifted to renewable energy, along with ROI analysis and performance metrics.

With Maharashtra's ambitious target of installing 2 GW of rooftop solar by 2025, understanding how to leverage renewables for energy demand will be crucial in the coming years. The state ranks second in India for grid-connected rooftop solar installations, accounting for 14 per cent of the country's total as of December 2022, and ranking second for open-access solar installations, accounting for 12 per cent of India's total.

Across India, C&I customers with large power requirements are plagued with mounting power bills, especially in Maharastra. The government has outlined a multi-year tariff structure so C&I businesses can have long-term clarity about what kind of charges they can expect.

C&I companies and large corporates attending the Navi Mumbai event include Tata Consultancy Services, FDC India, Sun Pharma, Apcotex Industries and Hindustan Lever. The event is supported by TTC- MIDC Industries Association, SME Chamber of India, and industry leaders including LONGi Solar, Jinko Solar, and Ginlong (Solis) Technologies, to promote the education of C&I facility owners and operators about their choices for clean energy adoption.
