Mumbai, Feb 4 (.) Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company (Tata Power), officially announced here today that it has successfully commissioned a 198 MW wind energy project for Tata Steel in Karur, Tamil Nadu.
According to an official statement, the wind energy project comprises 55 wind turbine generators of 3.6 MW each and is designed to generate 31 million units of clean electricity annually, further advancing Tata Steels decarbonization journey and strengthening TPRELs contribution to India’s renewable energy capacity.
A key highlight of this project is the strategic unbundling of the scope into multiple packages, all of which were executed directly by TPREL. Rather than relying on OEMs for Balance of Plant (BOP), Civil BOP, Engineering & Construction, Transmission Lines, 33 kV systems, and SY, the project was delivered through a self-EPC model underscoring TPRELs strong in-house capabilities, engineering excellence and its successful execution of a mega scale wind project, according to the statement.
According to the statement, the partnership reinforces TPRELs position as a leader in India’s renewable energy transition, playing a vital role in advancing the country’s target of reaching 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. It also reflects TPREL’s focus on scaling up wind-led clean energy projects that are reliable, dispatchable, and economically viable.
TPREL has a wind energy portfolio exceeding 3.7 GW, with over 1.2 GW operational and the remainder under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
After commissioning the Karur project, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. Currently, 6.2 GW of this capacity is operational, comprising 5 GW of solar and 1.2 GW of wind energy. Additionally, 5.8 GW is under various stages of implementation, evenly split between 3 GW of solar and 2.8 GW of wind projects. These ongoing projects are expected to be completed in phases over the next 6 to 24 months in a staggered manner, according to the statement.
