In an era where sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity, businesses are increasingly shifting towards renewable energy solutions. Whether it’s a bustling shopping mall, a corporate office, or a commercial complex, switching to solar power is a smart and future-ready investment. MGM Green Energy Limited, an independent power producer in the renewable energy sector, is at the forefront of this transformation, helping businesses harness the power of the sun to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and contribute to a greener planet.
Why Should Malls, Shopping Centres, and Offices Go Solar?
1. Massive Cost Savings on Electricity Bills Imagine running a 500,000-square-foot shopping mall or a 15-story corporate office that operates 12-16 hours a day. Energy consumption is one of the biggest operational costs for these commercial spaces. By installing solar panels, businesses can reduce their electricity bills by up to 50-70%.
Case Study: A commercial complex in Mumbai installed a 500 kW rooftop solar system and reported annual savings of nearly ₹60 lakh ($72,000) in electricity costs.
2. Faster ROI and Government - Incentives with declining solar panel prices and government subsidies, the return on investment (ROI) for solar power installations has significantly improved. Businesses can expect to break even on their solar investment within 4-5 years, after which they enjoy nearly free electricity for 20+ years.
Government Incentives:
- Tax benefits under Accelerated Depreciation (40%)
- Net Metering Policies allowing businesses to sell excess power back to the grid
- Subsidies & Grants on solar installations for commercial entities
3. Uninterrupted Power Supply and Energy Independence - Frequent power outages and high peak-hour electricity costs can disrupt operations. Solar energy, especially when paired with battery storage, ensures a reliable power supply, reducing dependence on the grid.
Case Study: MGM Green Energy Limited partnered with a corporate office park in Hyderabad, providing a 1 MW hybrid solar system with battery storage, ensuring zero downtime during peak hours.
4. Enhancing Brand Reputation and ESG Compliance - Sustainability is a key consideration for businesses today. Consumers and corporate clients prefer environmentally responsible brands. By adopting solar power, businesses align with global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.
Case Study: A major shopping centre in Bangalore switched to solar and saw a 20% increase in footfall from eco-conscious shoppers who preferred green businesses.
5. Optimal Use of Unutilized Space - Commercial buildings have vast rooftops and parking areas that remain underutilized. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, carports, or even as part of building facades, turning empty spaces into revenue-generating assets.
Solar-powered parking spaces not only generate electricity but also provide shaded areas for vehicles, improving customer experience.
6. Contributing to a Cleaner Environment - Every 1 MW of solar energy installed reduces 1,500 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to planting 25,000 trees. By switching to solar, malls and office spaces can significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
MGM Green Energy Limited is committed to accelerating India’s transition to clean energy, having deployed over 500 MW of renewable energy projects across various sectors.
