“Given that the asset is already operational, the acquisition is not only value accretive for us but also presents a lower level of risk,” said Sumant Sinha, founder, chairman, and CEO of Renew Power, adding that this acquisition strengthens their ability to provide firm and round the clock power to the grid and compliments solar and wind assets, filling up an essential position in Renew’s portfolio. “We will be looking to acquire more hydro assets in the future as they are the best clean balancing sources for intermittent renewable energy,” added Sinha.
