01Project overview & context
Project summary
SgurrEnergy provided climate risk assessment for Confidential's 600 MWac solar pv assignment in India. The work addressed climate risk assessment and translated the available project, site and environmental evidence into engineering and risk-management inputs. The assignment supported clearer identification of constraints, better-informed project decisions and a traceable basis for the applicable mitigation, resilience, design or infrastructure-protection measures.
Project context
The assignment related to Climate Risk Assessment of 600 MWAC Solar Power Plant in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. in India. SgurrEnergy was engaged during the stated 2022 - 2023 period to provide climate risk assessment. The work was intended to establish reliable project evidence, identify site and lifecycle constraints, and provide recommendations that could be used by the client and its engineering stakeholders. The source track record does not state the project phase, contractual boundaries or current development status; these items require confirmation before publication.
Client objectives
- Identify material acute and chronic climate hazards relevant to the project.
- Assess potential physical, operational and lifecycle consequences.
- Define adaptation and resilience measures for design, construction and operations.
- Establish an auditable framework for implementation monitoring and periodic review.
Key challenges & considerations
Changing Hazard Conditions
Historical conditions alone may not adequately represent future temperature, rainfall, drought and flood exposure.
Asset and Operational Sensitivity
Climate hazards can affect infrastructure, access, drainage, equipment performance and operating continuity through different pathways.
Implementation Traceability
Adaptation recommendations require owners, indicators and review cycles if they are to influence lifecycle decisions.
02Scope & delivery
Independent engineering role
SgurrEnergy's role
SgurrEnergy acted as the Climate Change Expert for the assignment. The team coordinated the applicable environmental, social, survey, hydrology, geotechnical, corrosion, climate or engineering inputs and converted the findings into structured technical outputs. The role supported the client's decision-making while maintaining traceability between available evidence, identified risks and recommended actions.
Our technical approach
SgurrEnergy assessed relevant climate scenarios and translated projected hazards into project-specific physical and operational risk pathways. The team considered exposure, sensitivity and consequence across the asset lifecycle, then developed proportionate adaptation measures. Recommendations were supported by audit templates, indicators, responsibilities and periodic review provisions so climate resilience could be monitored rather than treated as a one-time assessment.
Principal deliverables
- Climate-scenario and hazard assessment.
- Physical and operational risk register.
- Adaptation and resilience recommendations.
- Audit templates, compliance checklists and performance indicators.
- Implementation responsibility and monitoring framework.
Project configuration
- Project / assignment: Climate Risk Assessment of 600 MWAC Solar Power Plant in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh..
- Published capacity: 600 MWac.
- Technology: Solar PV.
- Location: India.
- Source description: Climate risk Assessment.
03Value & outcome
Value delivered
- Improved understanding of future climate exposure and asset sensitivity.
- Supported integration of resilience measures into project decisions.
- Created a structured basis for monitoring adaptation implementation.
- Strengthened long-term planning and climate-risk governance.
Project outcome
The assignment provided Confidential with structured climate risk assessment outputs for the project in India. SgurrEnergy's work strengthened the evidence base for project planning and supported more informed decisions on the relevant environmental, social, resilience, site-development, foundation, drainage or durability considerations. The final website wording should be updated once the project stage, deliverable status and approved outcomes are confirmed.
