ABOUT PROJECT
Bundookmara Tea Solar EPC
March 12, 2025
PLANT CAPACITY
700 kWp
ANNUAL ENERGY GENERATION
9.54 Lakhs units
ELECTRICITY COST REDUCTION
₹78.7 Lakhs
Project Overview
The project for Bundookmara Tea involved the comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) of a 700 kWp solar power plant. The main goal was to drastically reduce the company's annual electricity costs and enhance its commitment to sustainability.
Financial Overview
The project's financial model is highly favorable, with an expected ROI of less than 3 years. This rapid payback is driven by the significant annual savings on electricity.
Annual Savings
The solar plant generates 9.54 lakh units of electricity annually, resulting in an extraordinary electricity cost reduction of ₹78.7 Lakhs per year. This figure is highly effective in achieving a quick ROI.
ROI Calculation
The ROI is calculated by comparing the total investment with the total savings over the project's lifetime. However, a more critical metric for businesses is the payback period—the time it takes for the cumulative savings to equal the initial investment. The prompt specifies a payback period of 2.5 years.
Environmental Impact
Beyond the financial benefits, the solar project demonstrates Bundookmara Tea's commitment to environmental sustainability. The positive impact is substantial:
CO2 Offset:
The plant prevents 980 tons of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere annually, which is a significant step towards mitigating climate change.
Equivalent Trees Plantations:
The clean energy generated is equivalent to the carbon sequestration efforts of 5,065 trees each year, visually representing the project's positive ecological footprint.
