Samsung’s R&D centre in Bengaluru has switched to solar power for its campus in the IT capital of India.
The campus which houses over 3,000 R&D employees will draw 88 per cent of its power requirement from a solar farm in Kalburgi district in Karnataka, around 500 kilometres away from Bengaluru. In December 2018, Samsung R&D Institute, Bengaluru (SRI-B), which is Samsung’s largest R&D centre outside Korea, adopted the green energy solution through a method called ‘energy wheeling’.
The solar farm by Bagmane Green Power LLP based in Kalburgi has a tie-up with SRI-B. Through ‘energy wheeling’, the solar farm adds the required power to the state electricity grid and SRI-B in turn, receives an equal amount of power from the local electricity grid. This method reduces transmission and distribution losses, thereby making it more energy efficient.
