Tata Power has added another feather in its cap by successfully commissioning the final 8 MW of the 32 MW wind farm at Girijashankarwadi in Maharashtra.
After the commissioning of the project, Tata Power’s total wind generation capacity rose to 470.6 MW, with wind farms located in five states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka
The project was developed by Tata Power’s subsidiary Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL).
In the near future, TPREL will add 300 MW of wind capacity as various projects are under construction in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
It is expected that the wind farm will generate approximately 62 MUs every year and it will be procured by Tata Power-Distribution through the fulfillment of its Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO).
After the commissioning of the project, Tata Power’s total generation capacity will stand at 8623 MW.
On commissioning of the project, Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power said that wind energy is an important part of our renewable energy portfolio and the aim is to add 150-200 MW every year. Tata power is committed to reduce the carbon footprint by generating 20 to 25 per cent of the total capacity through clean and renewable energy sources.
Girijashankarwadi expressed gratitude to the government of Maharashtra, the local population and the stakeholders for the support extended in setting up this wind power project at Girijashankarwadi.
Meanwhile, Tata Power’s 470 MW wind portfolio and its 56 MW solar portfolio makes it the largest Renewable Utility player in India
