Commending the collaborative effort, CMD of REC, Vivek Kumar Dewangan, expressed optimism about the joint venture’s potential to drive significant impact in the renewable energy sector. “We are pleased to announce the signing of an MoU with BHEL for the formation of a joint venture focused on developing utility-scale renewable energy projects,” stated Dewangan. “This collaboration brings together our extensive experience in the renewable energy sector with BHEL’s proven expertise in manufacturing and engineering. This SPV will play a crucial role in achieving India’s ambitious renewable energy targets and contributing to a cleaner and greener future.”
