Tata Group Energy Access Project

The project comprises the construction and operation of a 965.8 MW solar-wind hybrid plant being implemented by TP Vardhaman Surya Limited (TPVSL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), which is in turn a subsidiary of Tata Power Company Limited (TPCL). The plant consists of 379 MW of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic capacity and 586.8 MW of wind capacity, spread across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu in India. The plant is being developed under the group captive model as outlined in the open access provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003, with Tata Steel Limited (TSL) as the sole offtaker. The renewable power generated from the plant will replace conventional power from a 67.5 MW coal-fired captive thermal power plant at Jojobera, Jharkhand (Jojobera Unit 1), owned by TPCL, which is expected to be retired upon expiry of its power purchase agreement with TSL.
