WattPower, one of India’s leading solar inverter manufacturers, has supported Khare Energy to develop and execute an innovative agrivoltaics project at Adarsh Jeevan Farms in Madhya Pradesh, with its solar products and solutions. Establishing a practical model for maximising land productivity in India’s evolving renewable energy sector, the project seamlessly integrates solar power production with commercial strawberry cultivation. WattPower served as the technology partner, powering the project with its high-performance string inverter solutions.

Spread across approximately 14 acres at Adarsh Jeevan Farms, the 4.5 MW solar project owned and developed by Khare Energy generates nearly 9,000–10,000 units of electricity daily. Powered by 7  WattPower 330KTL string inverters, the project showcases how reliable solar technology can support innovative agrivoltaics at scale. Building on its success, Khare Energy is now planning an additional 1 MW expansion, reinforcing confidence in the model’s long-term viability and impact.

A key factor behind the project’s performance is WattPower’s 330KTL string inverters. Designed and developed in India, their multi-string architecture enhances system reliability, minimises downtime, and maximises long-term energy yield. Built to perform consistently even in harsh environmental conditions, the technology delivers dependable performance where many conventional inverters struggle.

In addition to power generation and agricultural output, the site has gained local recognition for its strawberry-picking experience, transforming a conventional solar installation into an interactive destination that promotes awareness of sustainable farming and clean energy practices.

More than just a solar project, it demonstrates how a single piece of land can generate multiple sources of value through clean energy, premium crop cultivation, and visitor engagement.

As India accelerates its clean energy transition, integrated projects like these can play an important role in maximising land productivity, strengthening rural livelihoods, and driving sustainable development. Powered by Khare Energy’s execution expertise and WattPower’s string inverter technology, the Adarsh Jeevan Farms project serves as a scalable model for the future of renewable energy in India.

The Nordex Group received a new order from Germany: For the Twistenberg wind farm in northern Hesse, Nordex will supply and install three N175/6.X wind turbines. The 20-MW wind farm will generate approximately 55 GWh of renewable electricity annually and, together with existing photovoltaic systems, will cover about two-thirds of the electricity needs of the Continental tire plant in Korbach. The contract also includes turbines. a 20-year full-service contract, ensuring the long-term efficient operation of the turbines.

A special feature of the project is the planned direct supply of the electricity generated to a major industrial off-taker: the wind farm will be operated and owned by tire manufacturer Continental. In future, the wind power is expected to cover part of the electricity demand of Continental’s plant in Korbach, around eight kilometers away – an important employer in the region.

With this project, Continental is further expanding its direct supply of renewable electricity. At the same time, regional power generation contributes to greater planning certainty in the energy supply of the site.

The Twistenberg project was developed by Verbands-Energie-Werk Gesellschaft für Erneuerbare Energien (VEW), a subsidiary of Energie Waldeck-Frankenberg GmbH (EWF). EWF is a regional energy supplier with municipal roots in Hesse. Through the close cooperation between industry, municipal energy utilities and regional project development, this project is becoming a flagship example of the energy transition for industrial SMEs and large companies alike.

The Twistenberg wind farm is being built in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, in the typical low mountain range landscape of northern Hesse. With an average wind speed of 6.9 m/s, the site is ideally suited to the N175/6.X turbine, which was specifically developed for low to medium wind conditions.

“Especially in low mountain regions, our N175/6.X demonstrates its strength with high hub heights of 179 metres: high yields combined with efficient turbine operation. In combination with direct industrial power use, this creates an overall concept that is compelling both economically and in terms of climate policy,” says Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central of the Nordex Group.

Civil engineering work is scheduled to begin in 2026, with commissioning planned for approximately a year and a half later.
