Axis Energy Ventures India on Saturday said it has commissioned a 445 MW solar plant in partnership with Brookfield Renewables in Rajasthan.
In a statement, Axis Energy Ventures India Private Limited said the project is part of the joint venture platform ‘ABC Renewables’ — signed with Brookfield Renewables — to set up a 5 gigawatt (GW) large utility renewable energy portfolio in India.
