A day after Tata Power Solar won a 50 MW PV project with Battery Energy Storage System, another Tata Power subsidiary Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has commissioned a 100 MW solar power project at Raghanesda Solar Park in the state of Gujarat.

During the first year of its operation, this project is another landmark for TPREL as the 100 MW project, which was awarded by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL), is expected to generate 255 million units of power.

We are steadfast in our conviction towards promoting the realisation of clean and green energy in the country through solar power generation.”

Despite various challenges faced on account of Covid 19 by the industry, TPREL through Tata Power’s EPC arm Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd has successfully completed the project within the project timelines due to its excellent project execution experience and capabilities.
