In Solapur, India, a letter of award validates a 150MW solar project undertaken by Tata Power.

An expected approval

For the Solapur project, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) received a letter of award. This letter is from the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Limited (MSEDCL). It follows the competitive bidding process followed by an online auction, which the company won.

Ashish Khanna, CEO of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, says:

“We are honored to receive MSEDCL’s letter of intent for the 150 MW solar project. This award is part of our commitment to creating a sustainable ecosystem for the transition to a greener future and affirms our potential to deliver world-class solar projects.”

Solapur’s project must be in operation within 18 months of the date of execution of the APP. In addition, with this new project, TPREL’s total renewable energy capacity reaches 5786MW.

Increase in capacity

TPREL offers complete green energy solutions such as turnkey, EPC and O&M solutions for various business segments. The company has a solar cell and module manufacturing facility of over 1.1GW in Bangalore. In addition, the company plans to set up a new 4GW solar cell factory.

TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity is 5786MW, including 1909MW of projects in various stages of implementation. Its operational capacity is 3877MW, including 2949MW of solar and 928MW of wind. TPREL aims to provide energy access to millions of people across the country through its integrated green energy solutions.
