Clean energy solutions provider Gentari, through its subsidiary Gentari Renewables India Castor One, has executed a power purchase agreement with AM Green Ammonia India (AMG Ammonia) to supply 650 MW round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy to power AMG Ammonia’s upcoming green ammonia facilities.
Gentari plans to install approximately 2,400 MW of combined wind and solar energy capacity in India to fulfill the agreement, integrated with 350 MW/2,100 MWh of energy storage. This will ensure a firm and dispatchable supply of green energy to AMG Ammonia’s facilities.
The solar project will be located at a single site, while the wind projects will span multiple locations connected via the interstate transmission system network. The projects are planned across Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
“This will be a one-of-its-kind project, integrating with energy storage to supply firm and dispatchable green energy to AMG Ammonia’s facilities. With our aligned vision and extensive expertise, we aim to drive rapid progress in expanding India’s renewable energy capacity and fostering sustainable growth in the green electron-to-molecule chain,” said Navjit Gill, Country Head for India, Gentari.
Gentari highlighted that the energy supply arrangement complies with the Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin framework. This compliance positions AMG Ammonia to target markets in Europe and other regions.
AMG Ammonia is building green ammonia platforms, aiming for a production capacity of 5 million tons per year by 2030. This initiative supports its net-zero goals in India and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development markets.
AMG Ammonia recently reached the Final Investment Decision milestone for its million-ton green ammonia project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
Earlier, Gentari entered into an agreement with AM Green to produce 5 million tons per annum of green ammonia by 2030 using renewable energy sources.
In July last year, Gentari signed a 50:50 joint venture agreement with ReNew to develop solar, wind, and energy storage assets to achieve a clean power capacity target of 5 GW in India. Tags: Gentari, AM Green, Wind, Solar, Green Ammonia
