Actis and its Indian renewable energy platform BluPine Energy won for their commitment to promoting a just transition through investment in the rural economy and India’s decarbonisation off the back of BluPine Energy’s sustainability initiative which saw five innovative skill development centres in Gujarat launch to deliver training in the installation and operation of utility-scale renewable energy projects to members of the local community from underprivileged backgrounds.
The training programme has positively impacted 138 beneficiaries who have received training certificates, including 50 women, and resulted in direct employment at BluPine Energy’s renewable energy projects for 50 beneficiaries, of which 17 were women (35%). The success of the programme has provided proof of concept and BluPine Energy are now looking to expand to reach a further 240 beneficiaries.
