The offer will triple Shell’s current renewables capability in operations.”This deal positions Shell as one of the first movers in constructing a genuinely integrated energy shift company in India,” Wael Sawan, Shell’s head of integrated gas and renewables, stated in a statement. The deal is expected to close later on this year. Shell presently has 4.7 gigawatts (GW)of
renewable resource generation capacity in operation, under building or committed to sale. It has an additional pipeline of 38 GW in future projects. The London-based business aims to become a net no greenhouse gas emissions business by 2050.
