Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), an arm of Tata Power, has successfully commissioned NHPC Ltd’s 450 MWp DC (300 MW AC) DCR-compliant solar power project in Rajasthan as the EPC contractor. The project, located at Karnisar Bhatiyan, Bikaner, was executed over a span of two and a half years and features high-efficiency bifacial solar modules manufactured by TP Solar Ltd., Tirunelveli. In total, around 7,75,000 PV modules were deployed for this project.
In addition to the 300 MW NHPC project, TPREL is also deploying DCR-compliant cells and modules for SJVN’s 1 GW project and NLC’s 300 MW project in Rajasthan—both poised for commissioning.
Developed by TPREL, the NHPC-owned large-scale solar project is supplying the entire power to Punjab State Power Corp. Ltd (PSPCL). It is expected to generate around 17,230 million units of green electricity over its operational life.
“The project stands out for its robust engineering and innovative execution in one of India’s most challenging terrains. Despite extreme temperatures and difficult vehicle movements, the TPREL team ensured timely completion with the deployment of advanced technologies such as DCR cells and bifacial DCR modules, precision ramming, and high-performance inverters designed to withstand extreme heat conditions,” stated TPREL. “More than 300 local workers were employed, and several local vendors were developed, creating livelihood opportunities in the area and boosting the regional economy.”
With this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. Currently, 5.8 GW of this capacity is operational, comprising 4.7 GW of solar and 1.1 GW of wind energy. Additionally, 5.8 GW is under various stages of implementation, evenly split between 3 GW of solar and 2.8 GW of wind projects. These ongoing projects are expected to be completed in phases over the next 6 to 24 months in a staggered manner.
