Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Company Limited, has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Mumbai Distribution for a contracted capacity of 80 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project.
The project is anticipated to integrate advanced solar, wind and battery storage systems to enable reliable energy dispatch during peak demand, thereby strengthening grid stability, an official statement said.
The project, which is to be completed within twenty-four months, is expected to generate approximately 315 million units (MUs) of electricity annually, mitigating over 0.25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The statement further noted that the initiative commits to a four-hour peak power supply, ensuring at least 90% availability during peak demand hours to support the growing energy needs of Tata Power Mumbai Distribution.
This project is likely to play a pivotal role in enabling Tata Power Mumbai Distribution fulfil its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), as mandated by the State’s Regulatory Commission.
Once commissioned, the clean energy generated from this project will be integrated into Tata Power’s Mumbai distribution network, enabling the delivery of reliable, low-emission electricity to around eight lakh customers across residential, commercial, and industrial consumers, as per the statement.
This development adds to Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited’s (TPREL) renewable utility capacity portfolio, which now stands at 11.3 GW (including 9.4 GW under Power Purchase Agreements). Out of this, 5.7 GW comprises projects at various stages of implementation, while its operational capacity is 5.6 GW, which includes 4.6 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind projects.
Presently, the company’s solar Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) portfolio is more than 15.7 GWp of ground-mount utility-scale and over 3 GW of rooftop and distributed ground-mounted systems. The company aims at providing energy access to the people across the country, via its green energy solutions.
