The ministry expresses its desire, that Tata Power Solar should participate in future green initiative projects like Solar Pumps, the Micro Hydro Project, and various ANERT projects.
- A historic Win for Tata Power Solar
India's largest solar EPC order bagged by Tata Power Solar. Tata Power Solar steps forward in the mission to contribute to India’s sustainability goals by adding one of the biggest solar EPC projects to our name with SJVN Limited issuing LOA for the EPC order of 1GW for INR 5500 Cr. This EPC order has been designed keeping in mind the innovative use of ‘Make in India’ cells and modules. The project will be developed under the CPSU scheme of MNRE and will be completed within a period of 24months. Covering around 5000+ acres of land in Rajasthan, this project aims at reducing around 22,87,128kg of carbon emission and is expected to generate around 2500 million units annually.
- Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav
We are happy to announce that Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) has awarded Tata Power Solar with a Certificate of Performance at the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. This certificate is an appreciation towards our excellent performance and efforts displayed while installing 624 solar pumping systems under Component-B of the PM-KUSUM Scheme in Punjab. We are looking forward to doing more in helping India become self-sufficient with respect to energy generation.
- Tata Power Solar doubles its manufacturing capacity of Cells and Modules to 1,100 MW
Tata Power Solar expanded its manufacturing capacity of Cell from 300 MW to 530 MW with Mono PERC and Module from 400 MW to 580 MW with Mono PERC Half cut technology.
These lines are capable of handling 166 mm - 210 mm wafers and also module wattage ranging from 440 watts to 530 watts with option for bifacial modules. The expansion is based on the significant increase in demand that the company has seen for its solar modules, as well as the expected increase in demand due to supportive policy steps announced recently by the Government of India for creating ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India). Tata Power Solar, is one of the few companies globally to have a long operating history of 31 years. This is a strong proof point for the company’s ability to honour the 25 years warranty that solar modules come with. Tata Power Solar has seen an increase in demand for its products which reaffirms the faith customers put in the quality of its products.
- Tata Power (Renewables) was recognized as "Industry Leader" in the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM Assessment) 2020.
Tata Power Solar won Re-Assets Award 2021 in the category of 'Best Service Provider of the Year: Asset Management Turnkey'. Tata Power Solar got the recognition towards increased plant availability by 0.5% which has resulted in improvement of plant performance in form improvement in energy generation. The method was patented and granted in Intellectual property INDIA. Also, developed in house algorithm in commissioned plants where Peak power control was not conceptualised at initial stage. This has resulted in 60 Lakhs/Annum revenue gain due to increased energy generation, with one time cost saving of 80 Lakhs for capacity of 250 MW.
50MW Kasaragod Solar Park
Inauguration of 50 MW Kasaragod solar plant at Kerala by the Honourable PM Shri Narendra Modi, digitally and Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister, Kerala. The occasion was graced by the team of THDC India Ltd. along with Tata Power Solar team. Tata Power Solar commissioned 50 MW AC solar PV plant at Kasaragod Solar Park, Kerala. Approximately 1,65,149 Multi Crystalline solar modules were used in the project.
Tata Power Solar has solely designed, engineered, procured, commissioned the project and will undertake the comprehensive operation & maintenance of the plant for 10 years. The plant is expected to generate about 101 MUs of energy annually. Despite Covid challenges, the project was completed one month ahead of its timelines.
