The project will generate 166 MUs of green energy each year, offsetting 118,856 tonnes of carbon‑dioxide emissions.
Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), one of India’s leading renewable‑energy companies, has commissioned its 72.5 MW captive solar project at Kalasar in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district, developed for Tata Steel Ltd. The project integrates large‑scale solar generation with advanced technology solutions to accelerate Tata Steel’s decarbonisation journey and strengthen TPREL’s contribution to India’s clean‑energy capacity.
The project is expected to generate 166 million units (MUs) of green energy annually and offset 118,856 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. It deploys 171,360 solar modules manufactured by TP Solar Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power that designs and produces high‑efficiency photovoltaic modules for utility‑scale and rooftop applications.
“This project underscores TPREL’s strong engineering expertise and execution excellence, highlighting our capability to deliver complex, technology‑driven renewable‑energy assets within demanding timelines. We remain steadfast in our commitment to developing innovative clean‑energy infrastructure that enhances grid resilience, supports industrial decarbonisation, and advances India’s vision of a sustainable, low‑carbon future,” the company said in a statement.
TPREL serves a wide range of sectors, including utilities, data centres, communications, IT, petrochemicals, steel, automobiles, FMCG, and biotechnology, as it continues to expand its renewable‑energy portfolio and reinforce its position among India’s leading clean‑energy players.
With the addition of this project, TPREL’s total renewable‑utility capacity has reached 12.3 GW. Of this, around 7 GW is operational, including 5.7 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind, while 5.3 GW is under various stages of implementation, comprising 2.2 GW of solar and 3.1 GW of wind capacity expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 24 months.
