AT A GLANCE


MAKING USE OF
SOLAR POWER
SunBorne Energy, funded by General Catalyst and Khosla Ventures, is set to make solar power affordable and widespread across India. Over the next three years, SunBorne will deploy over Rs 1,500 crores in over 100 MW's of utility-scale solar plants, and develop sites across India for several Giga-Watts of solar power. The company is partnering with MNRE on an R&D project to indigenise and decrease the cost of solar plants. Over the next decade, it plans to cut the costs in half, making solar power competitive with other sources. SunBorne's affordable solar power can help India grow without risking the environment or energy security.
