With a firm belief in the future of renewable energy, Soham has been directing its efforts in this regard for the past eight years. Today's burning issues such as global warming, energy shortage and rising oil prices, has only validated its belief in renewable energy. Soham has built and continues to operate India's largest hydro power plant in the small hydro private sector. This plant is located
near one of Southeast Asia's largest waterfall, Jog Falls. Its second plant has been operational from November 2008. This will be followed by nine such power stations, which are currently in various stages of implementation. In its quest to achieve a pan India presence and to de-risk itself from various rainfall patterns, Soham's Business Development team is in the process of acquiring projects in different states including Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Uttaranchal, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Kerala and Orissa.Also, with the intention of de-risking itself from a single fuel source, the company is actively scouting for Wind and Biomass projects. In future, this will include Solar and Photovoltaics as well. Soham prides itself on working with the best professionals in the industry. Its team of hydro professionals collectively adds over 150 years of experience. The team has varied expertise ranging from identifying and conceptualising projects, designing, project implementation, tendering and vendor identification as well as operations and maintenance. The popular phrase in today's sustainable development is Enviro, Social Welfare and Governance (ESG). Soham has made this an integral part of its policy through its eco-friendly programmes, social welfare initiatives and high levels of corporate governance.
