Tata Power, NTPC to develop 200 MW hybrid green energy project

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with NTPC Ltd to develop a 200 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project across multiple locations in India.

Set to be completed within 24 months, the hybrid clean energy initiative will harness solar, wind, and battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies. It is projected to generate approximately 1,300 million units (MUs) of electricity annually while mitigating over 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

A standout feature of the project is its assurance of a four-hour peak power supply with a minimum of 90% availability during high-demand periods — a significant boost for distribution companies striving to meet growing energy requirements.

This development brings TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity to 10.9 GW. Of this, 5.5 GW is currently operational—comprising 4.5 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind energy. The remaining 5.4 GW is under implementation, evenly split between 2.7 GW of solar and 2.7 GW of wind projects.

TPREL secured the project through competitive bidding, reinforcing its position as a frontrunner in India’s renewable energy sector, particularly in deploying complex hybrid solutions that integrate multiple technologies.
