HOW THE MAXIMUM CITY IS WIRED FOR PROGRESS

Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited is on track to meet 60% of Mumbai's power demands through green sources by 2027.

India’s financial capital Mumbai has to contend with its ever growing energy needs. With a bustling 24x7 economy, rapid pace of urbanisation, climate change, breakneck construction and technological advancement, the city’s power consumption has reached unprecedented levels.

Mumbai’s power demand is growing at an estimated rate of 5% per year. Driven by exponential rise in population and commissioning of infrastructure projects such as metro lines, bullet train, IFSC, coastal roads, Skycity, Mumbai Port Trust and others, the power demand is estimated to rise to 6,000 MW (megawatt) by 2030.

According to climate studies, Mumbai has been showing a warming trend, with temperature rise being recorded over time. Warmer days increase the use of air conditioning and cooling systems, putting significant pressure on the power grids. The teeming urban agglomeration’s expansion due to Mumbai is actually seeing de-industrialisation construction of residential, commercial and infrastructure projects has also led to higher energy consumption.

Reliable source of power

Mumbai has announced an expansion of its Climate Action Plan (CAP), which aligns with the net-zero emission targets by 2050. With significant strategy and planning being incorporated to find sustainable solutions to meet the city’s growing needs, companies such as Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited are playing a critical role.
