Siegwerk, a global leader in printing inks and coatings, has taken a remarkable step towards environmental sustainability with the launch of a cutting-edge solar power park in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. This significant investment was inaugurated on World Environment Day 2024, underscoring Siegwerk’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and embracing renewable energy. The solar park, spread across 2.7 acres, is equipped with advanced technology capable of generating over 2 million kilowatt-hours (KWh) of electricity annually.
Located in the solar-rich region of Jaisalmer, the park benefits from approximately 20% higher solar radiation compared to other areas, such as Bhiwadi. This favourable solar exposure ensures that Siegwerk maximizes energy generation to meet the demands of its operations. The solar energy generated will support Siegwerk’s facility in Bhiwadi while reducing its carbon emissions by 1,843 tons annually, an impressive achievement in the fight against climate change.
The solar park’s seamless integration into the energy grid was made possible through an agreement with a DISCOM. Official energy draw began on May 8, 2024, marking a milestone in Siegwerk’s journey toward operational excellence through sustainable practices. With a projected operational lifespan of 25 years, the park is set to significantly contribute to Siegwerk’s renewable energy goals and serve as a model for long-term sustainable energy investments in the industrial sector.
