Bringing together large power consumers and clean energy solution providers.

Mercom India hosted the ‘C&I Clean Energy Meet 2023’ across major Indian cities, focusing on participation from small, medium, and large-scale businesses. The event in Chennai happened on July 21, 2023, at Hyatt Regency.

As the capital of Tamil Nadu, Chennai already has a reputation for being on the cutting edge of technology as it was the first major city in India to have widespread access to WiFi. As the political and cultural hub of the region, it attracts large stakeholders in India, including many that would benefit immensely from a shift to solar energy.

Going solar is one of the best avenues for commercial and industrial businesses to cut operational costs and reap both environmental and economic benefits.

Commercial and Industrial (C&I) entities, large institutions, and residential apartments are ideal operations that can benefit from clean energy while also lowering costs compared to traditional grid power tariffs.

C&I entities, large institutions, and residential apartments are all in pursuit of energy sources that are clean, green, and also lower in cost compared to the grid power tariffs. Solar is an attractive option for commercial and industrial businesses trying to reduce their operating expenses. With many emerging business models, there is a renewed interest in going solar.

Solar solution providers equipped with advanced technologies, financing mechanisms, and regulatory provisions are offering attractive solutions to consumers.

Mercom is bringing pre-qualified clean energy solution providers and consumers together to discuss power requirements, cost benefits, challenges, opportunities, and solutions.
