Tata’s 100 MW solar project goes on stream in TN

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Ltd, has commissioned its 100 MW Group Captive Solar Project (TNGC-2) at Vellalankottai and Nalandhula villages in Kayathar, Tamil Nadu. The project is designed to generate 240.63 million units (MUs) of clean electricity annually and is expected to offset approximately 1.5 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions per annum.

The project will supply clean power to TP Solar Limited (40.625 MW), Tata Power’s solar manufacturing arm producing high-efficiency solar cells and modules, Tata Electronics Private Limited (53.125 MW), a leading electronics manufacturing company focused on semiconductors, precision engineering and advanced electronics and Tata Realty And Infrastructure Limited (6.25 MW), Tata Group’s real estate and infrastructure development company, the company said in a statement.

One of the key highlights of the project is the first-of-its-kind deployment of the Flexible Terrain Compatible (FTC) Single Axis Tracker technology in India for a Tata project. Equipped with 2,61,660 Mono PERC bifacial solar modules, the project is engineered to maximise energy generation while improving operational efficiency across varying terrain conditions.

The power generated will be transmitted through the Kayathar 400 kV Grid Substation (GSS), ensuring reliable evacuation and efficient delivery of renewable energy to the beneficiary companies.

With the project commissioning, TPREL utility portfolio now grows to 12.3 GW and has surpassed the landmark 7 GW operational capacity milestone. The company’s 7 GW operational capacity comprise more than 5.7 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind energy assets.

TPREL has an additional 5.3 GW under various stages of development, including 2.2 GW of solar and 3.1 GW of wind projects, which are slated for phased commissioning over the next 6 to 24 months.
