A 164.45 MW wind and solar hybrid in Karnataka
See how wind and solar share one grid connection and are estimated to avoid 4.63 million tonnes of CO2e.
Wind and solar, built to share one grid connection
The Koppal project combines 133.2 MW of wind with 31.25 MW of solar and delivers power through a single grid connection. It generates close to 500 GWh a year, and each unit displaces fossil-fuel generation.
- Project scope164.45 MW hybrid: 133.2 MW wind (37 turbines of 3.6 MW) and 31.25 MW solar

Emissions avoided, year after year
Two clean sources, one grid connection
Follow a hybrid build from turbines and panels to a single grid point.
01 The challenge
Wind and solar each produce power at different times. A hybrid plant has to combine both and deliver them through a single grid connection, while displacing fossil-fuel generation at scale.
02 The approach
The plant pairs 37 turbines of 3.6 MW with 31.25 MW of solar. Both feed a single grid point under a power purchase agreement, and the blended capacity utilization reaches 35.5%.
03 Delivery
The hybrid plant generates close to 500 GWh a year. That is estimated to avoid about 463,235 tCO2e each year, or about 4.63 million tonnes over the crediting period.
