Tata Power Renewable inks 9MWp solar deal with Tata Motors' Pantnagar plant
Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for 9MWp on-campus solar plant with Tata Motors’ Pantnagar plant in Uttarakhand, the company said in a statement. This solar plant will be the largest on-campus solar facility in the state, it added. The solar installation includes an effective approach towards Tata Motors sustainable future goals, with an estimated carbon emission reduction of 25 tonnes of CO2/kWp in Uttarakhand.
The project will be commissioned within 6 months from the PPA execution date. The solar installation will utilize ground-mounted units for installation. In an earlier partnership, TPREL and Tata Motors successfully established a 7 MWp solar project at the Pantnagar manufacturing facility.
As a result, Tata Motors Pantnagar plant’s combined solar capacity now stands impressively at 16 MWp. The solar plants will generate annually 224 lakhs units, which will meet nearly 60% of their annualized requirement. “Tata Power Renewables with this partnership with Tata Motors is supporting India's green energy future.
The 9MWp solar power installation resonates our commitment to fostering the widespread adoption of eco-friendly clean energy solutions across industries," said Ashish Khanna, CEO, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited. Tata Power along with its subsidiaries is developing round the clock renewable power solutions to support the RE100 agenda of large enterprises and to support the clean energy transition of the country. The company is working closely with its C&I consumers to meet their clean energy needs by developing large scale hybrid solutions, battery storage and pumped hydro projects.
