Tata Power Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Praveer Sinha said, “We have been awarded 100-MW solar power project in Gujarat, and are thankful to the government of Gujarat and the officials at the GUVNL for this opportunity.”

This is an important milestone in our endeavour to generate 35 to 40 percent of Tata Power’s total generation capacity from clean energy sources, said Ashish Khanna, president (renewables), Tata Power, in the statement. TPREL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company with an installed capacity of 10,957 MW.

With this win, TPREL’s capacity under implementation would become 500 MW which is in addition to the operating capacity of 2,268 MW. The plant is expected to generate 250 million units (MUs) of energy per year and will annually offset about 250 million kilograms (kg) of carbon dioxide.
