Tata Power Renewable Executes NHPC's 300 MW DCR Solar Project

Tata power renewable energy limited (TPREL) has recently commissioned a solar facility of 300 MW (AC) / 450 MWp (DC) in Bikaner, Rajasthan, as an EPC contractor on behalf of NHPC Limited.

This achievement was achieved in the course of two and a half years, indicating that Tata Power Renewable Energy has a robust project implementation and technical skills in the Indian emerging clean-energy sector.

It is situated in Karnisar Bhatiyan and employs bifacial modules of high efficiency which are locally manufactured in Tirunelveli plant of TP Solar, in favor of the India solar manufacturing ecosystem.

Tata Power Renewable Energy also employed the precision ramming methods and inverters of high-performance to adapt to the site rough landscape and its high temperatures. The DCR-compliant cells also support domestic production as promoted by the national policies.

All the production of the plant will be installed with PSPCL on a long-term power purchase contract with NHPC. Throughout the working life, the facility will produce approximately 17,230 millioin clean electricity units, which will make a huge contribution to the renewable targets of India. Around 7.75 lakh modules were put in place and over 300 local laborers were hired, which increased the employment and socio-economic growth in the region.

Tata Power Renewable Energy is also providing the DCR compliant cells and modules in other large projects including a 1GW solar project by SJVN and a 300MW plant by NLC in Rajasthan- both are almost ready to start occurring.

This most recent commissioning has enabled TPREL to provide more than 4.9GW of third-party utility projects. Its total renewable is now 11.6 ‛GW with 5.8 ‛GW of it being active and another 5.8 ‛GW being in development, which strengthens its role as a major collaborator in the 500 ‛GW of non-fossil fuel capacity in India.
