Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) announced on Aug 21 that as part of an agreement, it will supply 9 megawatts of green energy to Tata Motors' Pantnagar plant. Tata Motors Limited's Pantnagar plant in Uttarakhand has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA), according to a statement from Tata Power.
The project will be launched six months after the PPA is signed. TPREL stated that it will be installed using rooftop and ground-mounted units. Once commissioned, the project is estimated to make a carbon emission reduction of 25 tonnes annually.
TPREL and Tata Motors previously collaborated to successfully establish a 7 MWp solar project at the Pantnagar manufacturing facility.
TPREL CEO Ashish Khanna stated, "With this partnership with Tata Motors, Tata Power Renewables is supporting India's green energy future." The 9 MWp solar power installation reflects our commitment to promoting the widespread adoption of environmentally friendly clean energy solutions across industries."
TPREL's total renewables capacity will be 7,783 MW after the 9 MW project is completed, including 3,651 MW projects in various stages of development. The company's operational capacity is currently 4,132 MW.
