4.5 MW Malavalli Power Plant
Global pioneer as a crop-residues-fired power plant — coconut fronds, cane trash, eucalyptus branches. Achieved 75% PLF with zero fossil-fuel support. Downstream activities included compost production and contract O&M of 11 kV / 415 V distribution covering 46 villages & 10,000+ households.
The project created 550+ direct & indirect jobs, delivered the world's first Gold Standard CERs, and was filmed by World Bank, UNDP, GTZ and SDC.
