Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has commissioned a 72.5 MW solar project in Rajasthan for captive consumption by Tata Steel Ltd. The project, located in Kalasar, Bikaner, will supply green power to support Tata Steel’s decarbonisation efforts.

The project is expected to generate 166 million units of green energy annually and offset 1,18,856 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The project deploys 1,71,360 PV modules, manufactured by TP Solar Ltd. 

TPREL said this project underscores its strong engineering expertise and execution excellence, highlighting its capability to deliver complex, technology-driven renewable energy assets within demanding timelines.

With the addition of this project, TPREL’s total utility-scale renewable energy capacity has reached 12.3 GW. Out of this, around 7 GW capacity (5.7 GW solar and 1.3 GW wind) is operational. Around 5.3 GW is under various stages of implementation, which includes 2.2 GW solar and 3.1 GW wind and is expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 6-24 months.

Why is TPREL not using AgriVoltaics (AV) and thereby not ‘”wasting” the land below the PV Panels. Bharat, does not have “spare” 100,000km2 needed for 15TW PV Panels needed to Eliminate Pollution and Usher in a ZERO POLLUTION BHARAT….
Should pvmagazine not be questioning this and “raising the flag” NOW…???
