Intersolar AWARD 2013 Finalist – Omega Renk Bearings

BANGALORE, India - Oct. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- BHOPAL – October 11, 2013 – Intersolar Mumbai, the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry, and the largest solar industry event in India, will be held during November 11-14, 2013. Omega Renk Bearings Pvt. Ltd. has been selected as a Finalist for the Intersolar AWARD 2013 under the category “Solar Projects in India”. Omega Renk Bearings, with its solar photovoltaic plant that generates a massive 82% of its total energy requirements, is one of the world’s ‘greenest’ manufacturing plants.

The project ORBIS - Omega Renk Bearings Initiative for Solar, is a 1.455 MWp solar PV plant built in three phases that generates 2.8 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year, for its Manufacturing Plants and Administrative offices (including lighting load, air-conditioning, and plant & equipment load). To ensure greater adoption of renewable energy in industrial applications, policy initiatives in renewable energy have to be supplemented by robust, proven references of successful adoption of renewable energy in the industrial sector. ORBIS is a leading example of such large-scale industrial deployment of solar energy.

The ORBIS initiative proves the feasibility of reliably sourcing a manufacturing plant’s large scale energy requirements through solar energy. The ORBIS solar farm is easy to design, configure, and can be built and commissioned rapidly. Its state-of-art remote monitoring and security features, and minimal maintenance requirement makes it very easy to operate. ORBIS provides industry an empirical model of an eco-responsible energy policy, and an enhanced quality of life for its stakeholders. The project is very much in keeping with Omega Renk Bearings’ vision of practicing the highest degree of corporate responsibility while maintaining its leadership in manufacturing and supplying slide bearings worldwide.
