Oyster Renewable Energy, a hybrid renewable energy solutions provider for commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers, has commissioned a 10 MW solar power project for Aster Medcity hospital—a multispecialty hospital of Aster DM Quality Care in Kerala.
The milestone project marks a significant step in Aster’s efforts towards building a more sustainable and energy-efficient healthcare infrastructure.
Developed by Oyster Renewable, the ground-mounted solar project is located at Ambalathara and adjoining villages in Hosdurg Taluka, Kasargod District. The developer said the project integrates high-efficiency bifacial solar modules optimised for Kerala’s tropical climate and is designed to deliver reliable and cost-efficient clean power to support the round-the-clock energy requirements of Aster Medcity.
The project is expected to generate approximately 17.7 million units (MUs) of renewable energy annually, meeting over 90% of the total energy requirement of Aster Medcity on a captive basis. The power is supplied through Oyster Green Hybrid Two Private Ltd, in which the Aster Group holds a 26% equity stake. The project, once fully operational, is expected to abate approximately 23,138 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of Aster’s operations.
Aster DM Quality Care has invested INR 3.87 crore in this project. The commissioning marks the first operational phase of the project, with full commissioning to follow in subsequent phases.
Siddharth Bhatia, managing director & CEO, Oyster Renewable Energy, said, “The Aster Medcity project marks Oyster’s second-largest solar installation for a healthcare institution to date and sets a new benchmark for what clean energy infrastructure in this sector can look like. Healthcare facilities demand uninterrupted, reliable power, and this project has been engineered to meet exactly that standard.”
“This 10 MW solar project for Aster Medcity will not only help meet a significant proportion of the hospital’s energy requirements through clean power but also strengthen our efforts towards reducing the environmental footprint of our operations,” said Varun Khanna, Managing Director & Group CEO, Aster DM Quality Care.
