Big Relief for Mumbaikars from Tata Power

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Mumbai Distribution for an 80 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project.

The project will deploy advanced solar, wind, and battery storage systems to support reliable power delivery during peak demand periods. The agreement reflects Tata Power’s focus on integrating cutting-edge renewable technologies to meet the evolving electricity needs of Mumbai customers and aligns with regulatory requirements for a cleaner power supply.

The new FDRE project is expected to be completed within 24 months and is projected to generate approximately 315 million units of electricity annually. This output is estimated to reduce over 0.25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. A key feature of the project is its commitment to provide a continuous four-hour supply window during peak demand, maintaining at least 90% availability.

This initiative by Tata Power Mumbai Distribution also helps fulfill its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO). In Mumbai, the project will supply reliable, low-emission electricity to industries, commercial establishments, and approximately 800,000 residential customers.

With this project, TPREL’s total renewable energy capacity rises to 11.3 GW, up from the previous PPA capacity of 9.4 GW, which includes 5.7 GW of projects under various stages of implementation and 5.6 GW already operational (4.6 GW solar and 1 GW wind). The EPC portfolio now exceeds 15.7 GWp of ground-mounted utility-scale installations, along with over 3 GW of rooftop and distributed installations.
