Towards a Greener Planet - Initiatives on Sustainable Green Power Generation
The growing energy crunch is a great risk & barrier for India's development. Clean & green technology is necessary to ensure India's energy security & environmental safety.
OGPL has been generating power by using renewable energy resources since 2007. However, increasing shortage of biomass is felt as competing industries use at rising pace the urban green matter as fuel. Hence OGPL has started exploring alternate energy crops with the aim of benefiting farmers as well and it chose annual/seasonal crops for better availability of biomass. We found Cumbu Napier (CN4) species as the most promising species in short term coppice under irrigated conditions and Leuceanaleucacephala under rain fed condition through contract farming in surplus/underutilised land with farmers in neighbouring areas.
OGPL plans to set up decentralized biomass banks in rural backward areas for sustainable supply chain of biomass to power plants and green environment through cultivation of short term High Density Coppicing Energy crops.
In short we would like to set up green power villages.
In this front, OGPL has realized that growing Biomass in a large scale is possible only
When the Society takes this concept forward.
When there is real time benefit to the farmers by growing trees.
When it is accepted as doable by the farmer community.
As a first step at Sempatty, Dindugul District Buy back agreement system has been introduced in 5 acres of farmers' field for the cultivation of Cumbu Napier.

Orient Green Power Company Limited
To promote organic farming and sustainability in agriculture, OGPL initiated the Farmer's awareness program at Sempatty on Application of Fly Ash to increase yield and in part of soil conservation with Reddiar Chatram Sustainable Agriculture Producer Company Ltd. (A Farmer's producer company) & M S Swaminathan Research Foundation.
Capacity Additions
We have successfully commissioned 12.8 MW (8X1.6 MW) WTG of GE make at Koodangulam, Thirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu in August 2012.
CDM Project Registration
The 10 MW Biomass based power plant by Orient Green Power Company Limited, at Narsinghpur District, Madhya Pradesh and 8 MW biomass based power plant by SM Environmental Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Orient Green Power Company Limited at Baran District, Rajasthan have been successfully registered with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a Clean Development Mechanism Project.
Reaping the REC benefits
OGPL being an organisation caring for the environment, has started reaping benefits by way of revenue from Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) and Certified Emission Reduction (CERs).
In the Second Quarter 2012-13, so far OGPL has traded 62747 RECs from Wind and Biomass put together.
OGPL's subsidiaries - Shriram Powergen Limited, Dindigul and Shriram Non-Conventional Energy Limited, Pattukkottai - Bundled Clean Development Mechanism Project registered under UNFCCC has received 75627 CERs successfully for the first time.

Hamon Shriram Cottrell
Performance bettered
Hamon has introduced an ABS plastic formwork (framework)
at the Gail Pata Cooling Tower Work, for the first time ever. The
advantage of this is its ability to provide 100 pours as
compared to the average 8-10 pours obtained from a standard
timber shuttering. This introduction has been much
appreciated by EIL /GAIL.
Yet another feather in our hat
Hamon was awarded the contract of installing Pultruded
Cooling Towers at the 6x660MW Ultra Mega Power Project of
Reliance Infra, located in Sasan, Madhya Pradesh. The total
number of towers is 12, with 16 cells each and a capacity of
492800 cum of water per tower. The scope of work included
Design, Engineering, Manufacture, Supply, Civil Construction,
Erection, Commissioning & Performance Testing of the
Cooling Towers.

A pioneering effort
M/s. Hinduja National Power Corporation Limited
(HNPCL) has awarded a contract to M/s. Shriram EPC
Limited for Supply and Erection of GRP (Glass Fibre
Reinforced Plastic) piping system for their Power Plant (2
x 520 MW - Sea Water Intake Outfall System) coming up at
Vizag. The manufacturing and installation of the 3.6 mtr
dia (3600 mm) GRP pipe for a total length of 3.2 Kms will
be carried out by M/s. Shriram SEPL Composites P Ltd.,
against a total order value of ̀ 22.50 Crores.
It is the first time in the Country that GRP pressure pipe of
this dimension has been manufactured. A pipe of this size
will require specialized equipments and machinery for
manufacturing, testing, handling and transportation. The
Company has already made pipes of up to 3 mtrs dia
(3000 mm), not only of Circular shape but also Non
Circular shapes like Oval and Horse Shoe shape pipes and
are amongst the very few in the country who are capable
of handling pressure pipes of such large diameters.
