NEW DELHI, Dec 25: Adani Green Energy (AGEL) on December 25 said it has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to supply 1,799 MW of solar power.

According to the statement, AGEL has announced the execution of a PPA with the SECI to supply 1,799 MW of solar power. “We are glad to conclude the largest green PPA and enable a sustainable energy landscape.
