Apraava Energy (aka CLP India till today) wants a foot in green hydrogen

 CLP India (formerly, China Light and Power) today took a new avataar, renaming itself Apraava Energy. The rebranding is meant to shed its image as a thermal power player and show itself as a green energy company.



The company's Managing Director, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, told the Business Line newspaper today that the company was interested in getting into 'green hydrogen'. However, he gave no further details, saying that there were many options under consideration.

"We have no specific plans at the moment, but it is an area we are deeply interested," Mishra said. 

Apraava Energy has 1,024 MW of operating wind assets and 250 MW under construction, apart from 250 MW of solar, under renewable energy. It also has 1,320 MW of coal-fired power plants and 655 MW of natural gas fired plant, (which is currently lying unused for want of gas).

Therefore, production of hydrogen using its own renewable energy is a natural fit for the company.
