Water is a previous natural resource and its judicious use is responsibility of every company. At AGEL, water is required for construction of renewable energy projects during construction phase and for solar module cleaning during the operations. Along with this, there is small water demand for the domestic use for employees and contractors, working on these projects and sites.

AGEL has taken many initiatives to reduce its water consumption and monitors its water. The company has also declared a long-term solar panel cleaning water target of 0.7 lit/module/wash from a baseline of 1.3 lit/module/wash.

At AGEL, environmental and social impact studies and surveys are carried out by third-party experts to evaluate potential impacts due to our operations on the environment. Our environmental management systems in line with ISO 14001:2015 helps in monitoring and managing environment-related impacts, including water. Also, site-level environment team monitors and reports performance related to water in monthly and quarterly dashboards.

Moreover, we have done technological innovation in order to reduce the quantity of water used in plant operation. We are implementing the same in phased manner across our portfolio.
