TotalEnergies to Deliver a 1 MWp Solar Rooftop for Yanmar, a Leading Japanese Engine Manufacturer in India
CHENNAI, India, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Yanmar Engine Manufacturing India Pvt Ltd (YEMI), a leading Japanese engine 
manufacturer based in Tamil Nadu, India, has signed a binding, long-term 
agreement with TotalEnergies to provide a 1 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system 
to its industrial engine production facility in India. This system will power 
about 30% of the facility's energy with green power.

With over 2,200 of modules installed, the PV system will generate approximately 
1,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, realising 
significant cost savings for YEMI and reducing the company's carbon footprint 
by about 1,200 tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to more than 130 million 
smartphones charged annually.

Under the agreement, TotalEnergies will install and operate the PV solar system 
while YEMI will pay for the electricity generated for 20 years, without taking 
any upfront investments.

Varun Khanna, Managing Director YEMI said, "The installation of this solar 
photovoltaic generation system underscores Yanmar's longstanding commitment to 
sustainable operations. With this investment, we continue Yanmar's goal to 
realise a sustainable future with access to powerful, highly efficient, and 
affordable engine technologies as well as implementing systems that can make 
optimal use of diverse energy sources to reduce the burden on the environment."

Gavin Adda, Head of TotalEnergies Renewables Distributed Generation Asia said, 
"As the leading player in solar energy in the region, we are honoured to be the 
choice of Yanmar in providing renewable energy solutions that are 
cost-effective and reduce their carbon emissions. TotalEnergies provides its 
customers peace of mind from a technical, financial and commercial perspective. 
We are dedicated to being a long-term energy partner for Yanmar and welcome the 
opportunity to collaborate further in the future."
