PUNE: Tata Motors and Tata Power on Friday jointly inaugurated India’s largest grid-synchronised, behind-the-metre solar carport at the Tata Motors car plant at Chikhali in Pune.
The 6.2 megawatt peak (MWp) solar carport deployed by Tata Power will generate 86.4 lakh kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity per year and is estimated to reduce 7,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually and 1.6 lakh tonnes over its lifecycle.
Spanning over 30,000 square metres, the carport will not only generate green power but will also provide covered parking for finished cars in the plant.
Envisioned as part of its net zero carbon goal for 2039, Tata Motors had entered into a power purchase agreement with Tata Power on August 31, 2020.
