SparkGrid’s Captive and Group Captive Solar solutions enable businesses to participate in large-scale solar power plants and consume clean electricity at a significantly lower cost than traditional DISCOM tariffs.
Instead of purchasing power at fluctuating market rates, your business becomes a participant in a solar generation asset, allowing you to access electricity at near-generation cost for the long term. This model is ideal for organizations with high electricity consumption that want to reduce operational costs, gain energy price stability, and transition toward sustainable energy sources. Through SparkGrid’s captive power program, businesses can benefit from utility-scale renewable energy without the need to build, operate, or manage the power plant themselves.
Reduce electricity expenses by 20–30% compared to conventional DISCOM tariffs, improving operational efficiency and long-term profitability.
Protect your business from rising electricity prices with predictable power costs for the next 20–25 years.
Our models are designed to comply with Indian electricity regulations, ensuring eligibility for captive power benefits.
Participate in professionally developed large-scale solar projects without the complexities of project development or plant management.
Best suited for industries, commercial establishments, hospitals, hotels, malls, and manufacturing units with significant consumption.
Reduce carbon footprint and meet corporate sustainability goals by transitioning to clean renewable energy.
Captive solar allows businesses to access electricity directly from a solar power plant in which they participate, instead of purchasing all their power from the local DISCOM. SparkGrid develops and operates large-scale solar plants that supply electricity to participating businesses through the open access grid.
Our team evaluates your current electricity consumption, tariff structure, and power demand to determine the optimal solar capacity.
Your organization participates in a utility-scale solar power plant developed by SparkGrid, qualifying you for captive benefits.
The solar plant generates clean electricity and injects it into the grid through open access transmission infrastructure.
Your allocated share of electricity is delivered through the grid to your factory, commercial facility, or institution.
Because solar generation costs are stable, your business benefits from significantly lower power costs for decades.
