Energy Management : SLR Metaliks Ltd (SLRM), is an alloy & super special steel manufacturing company located near Hosapete in Karnataka India. The plant is having a capacity to manufacture 0.32 MTPA of steel confirming to various international standards. As a result of choosing Energy Optimizing Furnace (EOF) for manufacturing of basic steel, SLRM has reduced its energy requirement drastically irrespective of the type of electric energy that is being used.

SLRM is happy & take pleasure in mentioning that it is decreasing its dependency on conventional power and increasing consumption of Renewable Energy (RE) on continual basis. During FY 2021-22, SLRM has consumed nearly 60% of its total power imports from RE sources. Going forward, during FY 2022-23, SLRM has consumed nearly 80% of its total power import

SLRM takes pleasure in mentioning that, under group captive system, during FY 2018-19, it has invested in Wind mill of 19.8 MW and getting the power of nearly 17% of its total imports. Similarly, SLRM has invested in Solar plant of 30 MWp which was commissioned during July 2022 and is sourcing nearly 27% of its imports from this project which is located near Karatagi in the Dist of Koppal in Karnataka. Further, SLRM has invested in one more Solar plant of 27 MWp which was commissioned during Sept 2022 and it is supplying nearly 20% of energy imports. This project of 27 MWp is located at Gangavati taluka of Dist Koppal. Further, SLRM is investing in one more RE project of 23.76 MWp capacity located at Pavagada (Karnataka) which is expected to get commissioned by April 2024.

Once the Pavagada project is made operational, SLRM would be using Green Renewable Energy to the extent of nearly 90% of its total power imports. SLRM endeavors to maximize the utilization of RE power & minimize the conventional power on continual basis.

In addition, SLRM is producing its own power using the Blast Furnace waste gas (Co generation) which is contributing to the extent of nearly 15% of its total energy requirement. SLRM assures itself that it will be in the forefront & wish to become an example in making GREEN STEEL at all the times.
