What is clean energy procurement?
Clean energy procurement is the process by which businesses source electricity from renewable sources — such as solar, wind, or hybrid projects — instead of the conventional grid. It typically involves selecting a procurement model (Capex, Group-Capex, or Third-Party Open Access), evaluating tariffs and savings, and executing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with certified renewable energy developers.
How does Opten Power's procurement software work?
Opten Power follows a three-step process: you register and enter your basic energy consumption details, the platform's smart matching engine surfaces verified renewable projects across 16 states that fit your profile, and you instantly calculate savings, IRR, and payback periods. From there, automated RFPs and pre-approved contract templates handle negotiations and deal closure.
What procurement models does Opten Power support?
The platform supports three models: Capex (full asset ownership with depreciation and tax benefits, suited for large enterprises), Group-Capex (minimal equity investment with maximum ROI and wheeling charge exemptions, ideal for medium to large industries), and Third-Party Open Access (zero upfront capital, flexible PPA terms, best for commercial complexes and IT parks with high grid tariffs).
How much can my business save on energy costs?
Businesses using Opten Power can cut energy costs by up to 40% through Corporate PPAs. The Group-Capex model offers per-unit savings of ₹3–5 with strong IRRs, while Third-Party Open Access delivers savings without any capital deployment — particularly valuable for facilities currently paying grid tariffs of ₹10–15 per unit.
Which industries and business types does Opten Power serve?
Opten Power serves a wide range of commercial and industrial customers including steel, cement, textiles, and manufacturing units, as well as warehouses, data centres, hospitals, IT parks, hotels, commercial complexes, and fertilizer conglomerates. The platform also serves renewable developers, EPC companies, and investors including banks, NBFCs, and PE funds.
How does the automated tender engine work?
The automated tender engine allows buyers to create and distribute RFPs using modular templates in minutes. It manages bid collection from multiple developers simultaneously, automates comparative evaluation using standardized pricing metrics, and streamlines negotiations — enabling deal closure up to 50% faster than traditional procurement methods.
What is real-time DISCOM intelligence and why does it matter?
DISCOM intelligence refers to up-to-date data on Distribution Company tariffs and landing prices across all Indian states. Opten Power standardizes and continuously updates this data so buyers can make accurate cost comparisons between grid supply and renewable alternatives — ensuring you never overpay and always see your true savings potential before signing a contract.
Can I manage multiple renewable energy projects from one place?
Yes. The Portfolio Management Dashboard consolidates all your renewable energy investments, active PPAs, and energy assets into a single unified interface. Whether you are managing multiple procurement models or tracking projects across different states, the dashboard provides complete visibility and control without switching between systems.
