Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has commissioned a 72.5 MW captive solar power project for Tata Steel Limited at Kalasar in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
The project is expected to generate around 166 million units of renewable electricity annually and help offset approximately 118,856 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. It comprises 171,360 solar modules manufactured by TP Solar Limited.
The project will support Tata Steel’s ongoing efforts to increase the use of renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions from its operations.
Following the commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 12.3 GW, including around 7 GW of operational capacity. The remaining 5.3 GW is under various stages of development and is expected to be commissioned in phases.
The project strengthens TPREL’s presence in the captive renewable energy segment, providing large-scale clean power solutions for industrial customers.
The commissioning also contributes to India’s renewable energy expansion and supports the country’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030.
