Delta Electronics India, a prominent player in energy and power management solutions, has signed a forward-looking Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to significantly increase its renewable energy usage, marking a major step towards decarbonising its operations. Facilitated by Ventus Energy Consultancy Private Limited, this strategic transition is expected to reduce Delta's carbon footprint by approximately 6,979 metric tonnes annually.
Under the agreement, Delta will source a combined 9.6 million units of wind-generated power annually to supply its manufacturing and operational facilities in Tamil Nadu. This transition will reduce the company's dependence on fossil fuel-based electricity and, based on conservative industry estimates, cut approximately 6,979 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.
Benjamin Lin, President of Delta Electronics India, stated:
"At Delta, we believe in leading by example. Integrating renewable energy into our operations aligns our growth with India's climate goals and accelerates our global net-zero vision. Collaborations like these are key to building a resilient and responsible energy ecosystem."
The electricity will be sourced from wind farms located in Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, and Tiruppur, and will be supplied via TANGEDCO's grid under a 12-year agreement.
Delta's ESG initiatives are deeply embedded in its operations. Between 2010 and 2023, Delta's energy-efficient products enabled global electricity savings of over 45.5 billion kWh, resulting in 23.84 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided. In 2023 alone, the company achieved a 39% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to its 2021 baseline.
Mr. Niranjan Nayak, Managing Director, Delta Electronics India, added:
"Sustainability is central to Delta's purpose. These PPAs are more than transactions—they are part of a long-term strategy to decarbonise our operations and contribute meaningfully to India's green transition. They also reaffirm our commitments under global frameworks like RE100 and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)."
Delta has constructed 35 certified green buildings and operates two net-zero certified data centres globally. The company continues to invest in net-zero factories, smart grids, energy storage, and renewable integration, particularly in its Indian operations.
Supporting India's Green Industry Ecosystem
By partnering with Ventus Energy Consultancy, Delta is promoting a cross-industry model for renewable energy partnerships. This initiative supports India's national target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power capacity by 2030 and contributes to the broader shift towards decentralised, sustainable energy systems.
Rachna Kango, Senior Director – ESG & Strategic Marketing, Delta Electronics India, noted:"Delta is proud to partner with forward-looking enterprises like Ventus Energy Consultancy to accelerate the clean energy transition. These collaborations reflect our belief in inclusive, stakeholder-driven sustainability and show how ESG goals can be achieved through innovative, region-specific energy solutions."
P. Vijayabaskaran, Director, Ventus Energy Consultancy, stated, "With over 15 years of experience in renewable energy and a portfolio managing 750+ MW of wind and solar assets across Tamil Nadu, Ventus Energy Consultancy is proud to support Delta Electronics in its industrial decarbonisation journey. As Delta's renewable energy needs grow, we remain committed to enabling this scale-up through strategic power procurement and regulatory alignment."
