Tata Power Renewable commissions 150 MW solar capacity in Rajasthan
Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has commissioned a 150 MW solar capacity in Pokharan, Rajasthan.
With the commissioning of this solar capacity, TPREL, a subsidiary of Tata Power, has increased its renewable capacity to 2,628 MW, inching closer to its target of generating 40 per cent of its total generation from clean energy sources.
Tata Power won this capacity in a bid at a tariff of Rs 2.72/kWh announced by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd in 2018. The sale of power from this solar plant has been tied up under a 25-year PPA with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. The project is connected at 220 kV to PGCIL’s Bhadla sub-station, making it the company’s first Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) solar project.
