Greenko Group utilizes an Integrated Management System (GIMS) for its new solar plants, aimed at achieving "Zero Harm" and net-zero carbon goals by 2040. The strategy centers on digital monitoring, rigorous EHS standards, and quality control during construction and operations, aligning with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001.
1. Environment and Sustainability Monitoring Strategy
Greenko focuses on minimizing ecological disruption, maximizing resource efficiency, and monitoring compliance with CPCB guidelines.
Water Management: Implementation of rainwater harvesting and advanced water conservation measures for module cleaning (e.g., dry cleaning or minimal water usage).
Waste Management: A "no use of single-use plastics" policy is enforced, and solid waste is managed via authorized third-party recyclers. Excavated muck is stabilized and managed through approved waste management plans.
Environmental Monitoring: Routine (monthly) monitoring of ambient air quality, noise levels, and water quality is conducted at designated locations.
Biodiversity Protection: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) studies are conducted to protect local flora and fauna, including compensatory afforestation, with survival rates maintained above 95%.
2. Health and Safety (EHS) Strategy
The "I Own Safety" (IOS) initiative drives personal accountability for safety across all organizational levels, supported by "Zero Harm" goals.
Safety Culture: Implementation of "Deemed Safety Officer" and "Element Owner" concepts to ensure safety ownership at the site level.
Hazard Identification: Regular Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) workshops and daily pre-start checks are mandatory.
Procedures: Strict enforcement of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and Permit to Work (PTW) systems.
Training & PPE: Regular safety training, including Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) and mock drills, is provided to staff, with strict PPE usage.
Emergency Response: Detailed disaster management plans and emergency response procedures are in place.
3. Quality Monitoring Strategy (GIMS)
The Quality Management system focuses on rigorous inspection during construction and operational handover, supported by Greenko Energy Project Systems (GEPS).
Quality Assurance (QA) (Pre-construction): Third-party Inspection (TPI) of critical components (modules, inverters) before dispatch, ensuring adherence to IEC/BIS standards.
Quality Control (QC) (Construction/Trial):
Module Inspection: Visual inspections, flash tests, and Electroluminescence (EL) tests to detect micro-cracks and Potential-Induced Degradation (PID).
Structural & Electrical Check: Verifying mounting structure (MMS) integrity, torque, and earthing, along with string testing and insulation resistance tests.
Post-Commissioning Quality: 100% infrared (IR) thermography on modules to detect hot spots and 7-30 day performance ratio (PR) tests.
4. Digitalization and Predictive Maintenance
Drone & Thermal Imaging: Utilization of drones to monitor panel conditions, identify hotspots, and inspect cable joints.
IoT & SCADA: Real-time, data-driven monitoring of assets using IoT-based SCADA systems for predictive maintenance.
5. GIMS Compliance and Audits
Certifications: Adherence to DNV-GL certified ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001).
Audits: Periodic internal and external audits to evaluate the effectiveness of the GIMS, including an online audit management application (GAMA).
