Sula’s solar-powered winery: ~75% renewable push in FY26
Aabkari Times coverage highlights Sula’s mix of solar, battery storage and pomace biogas, plus mass tree planting, on a path toward net-zero 2050. Green power becomes part of the bottle story.
Nashik sun is not only for ripening grapes. It is for running the winery.
Aabkari Times reporting around FY26 describes Sula’s renewable stack — solar arrays, battery backup and biogas from grape pomace — aiming near 75% renewable energy use, with more than 100,000 trees in the wider greening story and a net-zero 2050 horizon. That turns sustainability from a back-label slogan into measurable kilowatts. Pomace that once was only waste becomes fuel. Heat and harvest power get paired.
Mini-lesson: renewable winery math is circular. Sun powers pumps and cooling; skins and stems can feed biogas; trees offset what remains. Drinkers should ask for percentages, not vibes.
Gen Z already prices climate into brand trust. Choosing a solar-backed Nashik bottle over a no-story RTD is an energy choice as well as a flavour choice.
Tour guests who walk past panels and digesters leave with a stronger story than any brochure. That story helps wine compete with lifestyle drinks that claim virtue without showing the metre. FY26’s renewable share is a checkpoint, not the finish — net-zero 2050 keeps the horizon honest.
Pattern: ~75% renewable FY26 frame. The vineyard’s power plant matters.
