Tata Power Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power has commissioned a 100 MW solar project for NTPC in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. This is the biggest solar project commissioned using domestically manufactured solar cells and modules. The plant is expected to generate nearly 160 million units (kWh) of energy per year and help offset around 110,000 tonnes of CO2 in the first year.
Built over a 500-acre site, the land contained natural streams and hillocks which were untouched by the plant to maintain the natural ecosystem. Tata Power Solar delivered the project in record 80 per cent of the stipulated timeline, and nearly 3 months ahead of the stringent schedule.
Tata Power is India’s largest integrated power company with a growing international presence. The company together with its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities has presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Fuel Security and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
