How Much They Overpay for Electricity.
Drag the slider to see how your electricity bill grows over time โ and how much of it you never question.
Monthly Electricity Bill
โน0
For a mid-size industrial unit in Kerala
Year
2022
๐ At this trajectory, your annual electricity cost in 2030 will be โน26 Lakh+
Tariffs Rise Every Year
KSEB and DISCOM tariffs have increased 12โ18% annually, outpacing most business cost inflation.
Peak Hour Penalties
Industries using power during peak hours pay 40โ60% more per unit โ often without realising it.
Demand Charges Are Hidden
You pay for your highest demand moment, even if it lasts just 15 minutes. This alone can be 20โ30% of your bill.
Diesel Eats Into Margins
Diesel backup for grid failures costs โน18โ22/unit. Your grid rate is โน7โ9/unit. The gap is margin loss.
You Have No Leverage
Buying from the grid means accepting any tariff. Renewable procurement puts you in control of your energy cost.
๐ก The good news?
Industries with 1 MW+ consumption can access renewable power at โน3.5โ5.5/unit โ versus โน7โ11/unit from the grid.
Your Renewable Power Options
Six ways your industry can access renewable energy. Tap any card to explore the details.
Group Captive
Multiple industries jointly own a share of a renewable plant and consume power via open access.
CAPEX Solar
You invest in and own a solar system โ on your rooftop or as a ground-mount project.
OPEX / RESCO
Developer installs and owns the solar system. You buy electricity at agreed rates โ no capex needed.
Open Access
Buy electricity directly from any renewable generator through the grid network.
Wind Power PPA
Sign a long-term agreement to buy power from a wind developer at fixed tariffs.
Hybrid + BESS
Wind + solar combined with battery storage โ delivers stable power around the clock.
How Group Captive Works
The most powerful renewable model for South Indian industries โ explained in 7 simple steps. Tap each step to learn more.
You Buy Equity
Your industry buys a 26%+ equity stake in a wind or solar project.
Plant Generates Power
The renewable plant generates electricity โ wind or solar.
Power into Grid
Electricity is injected into the state transmission network.
Wheeled to You
Power is "wheeled" through the grid to your location.
Adjusted Against Consumption
Your energy consumption is offset against what your plant produced.
Lower Effective Cost
Your effective electricity cost drops by 30โ50%.
Green Credentials
You earn Renewable Energy Certificates and ESG reporting benefits.
