Jakson Green, a leading new energy transition platform, announced today the signing of its first Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for a utility scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power project.

Besides commercial benefits for all stakeholders, the project is expected to generate clean energy sufficient to power close to one lakh households annually, contribute to the elimination of nearly 188,000 MT/year of carbon emissions, and create valuable job opportunities during both construction and operation phases.

"We are thrilled to initiate our collaboration with SECI starting with this project, first of many more to follow in times to come," said Mr. Kannan Krishnan, Joint Managing Director of Jakson Green Private Limited. "This agreement reinforces our commitment to partnering with leading organizations to accelerate India's clean energy transition.
