Tata Power Company’s arm - Tata Power Solar has commissioned 1.25 MW rooftop projects at SASTRA University’s Thanjavur and Kumbakonam campuses in Tamil Nadu. SASTRA has inked a pact with Tata Power Trading Company (TPTCL) under which the latter will sell electricity generated from the facilities to the university for 15 years.
Commissioned as a part of the university’s green energy efforts, the plants are likely to offset 30 percent of its total power consumption. These plants will generate nearly 20 lakh units of power annually and reduce more than 1,600 tonne of carbon dioxide emission.
