BrightNight, a renewable power producer, on Tuesday announced that it has commissioned the first phase of its 115 MW hybrid renewable power project, Optima Maharashtra, in Dharashiv, Southern Maharashtra. This is one of the state’s first co-located wind-solar projects.
Spanning around 500 acres, Optima Maharashtra integrates advanced wind and solar technologies, powered by BrightNight’s proprietary AI-enabled PowerAlpha platform 1, which ensures maximum power output with the lowest environmental footprint, the company said.

The project is expected to help the state achieve its goal of sourcing 40% of its energy from renewables by 2030.
It will be generating enough dispatchable clean energy to power about 230,000 homes annually while preventing about 225,000 tons of carbon emissions.
“This milestone project marks the official launch of BrightNight’s operations in the Asia Pacific region as we focus on building a cleaner, more sustainable future,” said Martin Hermann, CEO of BrightNight.
