Approximately 16% of the world's electricity is renewable, with hydroelectricity account for 21% of renewable sources and 3.4% of total energy sources.

Hydropower is one of the most reliable, predictable and least environmentally intrusive of all renewable energies. SGEL strives to ensure that its potential is realized. Government policy to limit carbon emissions has given us the opportunity to develop hydropower projects which previously would have been unviable.

SGEL is also in to small hydro projects with aggregate capacity of 48 MW located at Chattishgarh and Orissa.
