Tata Power jt venture targets villages lacking power supply

Nearly a million people in India still need access to reliable and affordable power supplies, according to an estimate by Tata Power and the Rockefeller Foundation.

“We have an unprecedented opportunity to transform the lives of millions of people in India by providing access to power,” said Rajiv J Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. He said that there is an opportunity to provide reliable and affordable power to one million people in the country.

This is an opportunity that TP Renewable Microgrid Limited, a joint venture between Tata Power and The Rockefeller Foundation will be exploring. The joint venture has anticipated a roll-out of 10,000 micro grids across the country where power supplies are restricted.
