  • In 2016, SunSource Energy developed an on-site solar power project for us. Since we were associated with them from the start, it was obvious that we tied up with them again for a 5 MW off-site project when the Open Access Policy of UP came in 2019. SunSource Energy’s team of experts has simplified the process of the energy transition for us with their on-site and off-site solar solutions.
