ABB surpasses 10 GW milestone in delivering automation solutions for renewable energy plants in India

ABB has surpassed a 10-gigawatt (GW) milestone in delivering its automation solution for renewable energy plants in India. Starting with a 100-MW project about seven years ago, ABB has strengthened its footprint in the renewable energy industry with this milestone, which is a result of over 300 renewable energy projects across India utilizing ABB's IoT-based PLC solution.

ABB's PLC-based SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system is an automation control solution, which helps gather and analyze real-time data to run the plant optimally and enable low maintenance. With this, operators are also able to easily monitor and analyze key parameters of the plant and get complete visibility of plant operations. Delivered as part of ABB's Drive Products offering, the utility-scale SCADA solution helps reduce the cost and risk of investment in operating renewable energy plants.

As energy demand continues to grow in India, the country is rapidly increasing its share of renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in line with its target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. The country aims to reach 500 GW of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. As renewable energy plants can achieve carbon reduction of over 24 million tons per year on an average, the ABB solution is playing a key role in catalyzing the country's energy transition with renewables, in line with its purpose to enable low-carbon societies.
