Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), in collaboration with Chengmari Tea Estate has successfully completed the commissioning of a 1,040 kW bifacial solar system project. This signifies the inaugural deployment of on-ground bifacial modules in the eastern region of India.
Despite facing difficult monsoon conditions for 3.5 months, the project, which included installing about 1,900 modules, was successfully finished in a six-month period. It is projected to produce annual energy of approximately 1.5 million units for the tea estate. The project is expected to substantially decrease the area’s carbon footprint, anticipating an annual reduction of 2,942 million tonnes of emissions, which is equivalent to the environmental impact of planting 47,000 teak trees.
With this inclusion, the overall renewable capacity of TPREL has now achieved 9,012 MW, with power purchase agreement capacity of 7,626 MW. This encompasses 4,752 MW in various stages of development and 4,260 MW operational capacity, comprising 3,241 MW and 1,019 MW in solar projects and wind projects, respectively.
In December 2023, TPREL signed a power delivery agreement with Force Motors Limited and Jaya Hind Industries to deliver clean power for 25 years as a part of group captive scheme.
In November 2023, TPREL secured a letter of award from SJVN Limited to set up a 200 MW firm and dispatchable clean power with an additional greenshoe option.
