  • Sterling and Wilson Solar Limited (SWSL) (BSE Scrip Code: 542760; NSE Symbol: SWSOLAR), has successfully commissioned its second project in Oman. The 25 MW solar project was awarded to SWSL by worldwide power company Shell.

Creditably, SWSL commissioned this project promptly with more than 300,000 safe manhours throughout the pandemic by adhering to all the necessary safety protocols and measures established by the neighborhood authorities.

Mr. Bikesh Ogra-- Director and Global CEO, Sterling and Wilson Solar Limited claimed, "Oman is experiencing a quick surge in domestic energy need as even more urbanized populaces are eating higher quantities of power. The nation wishes to expand its electrical energy generation abilities with eco-friendly independent power projects and intends to derive 30% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. It provides us tremendous pride to commission our 2nd project in Oman during such tough times. We feel honored to have the opportunity to sustain Shell and add to Oman's trip of a clean and lasting future."

The project, situated on a 50-hectare site within Sohar Freezone, will certainly conserve 25,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, hence decreasing the reliance of natural gas sources and opening large scale solar opportunities for the country.

In 2015, SWSL came to be the very first Indian EPC company to appoint a solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) project in Oman. The Amin Solar Project, with a mounted capacity of 125 MWp, is Oman's initial renewables-based Independent Power Project (IPP).

SWSL needs to its credit report greater than 10.6 GWp of solar energy projects (appointed and under numerous stages of building and construction) in different locations. This portfolio includes a 1,177 MWp Solar PV plant in Abu Dhabi-- the world's biggest single-site solar plant. The Company additionally handles a portfolio of 8 GWp of O&M projects worldwide.
