Tata Power Renewable Commissions 300 MW Solar Project in Karnataka

Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has commissioned a 300 MW solar project in Koppal, Karnataka. The project has been developed by TP Saurya, a wholly owned subsidiary of TPREL, for the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

With the project’s commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 12 GW. About 7.2 GW is operational, comprising 5.8 GW of solar capacity and 1.3 GW of wind capacity, while nearly 4.9 GW is under various stages of implementation.

The project will supply renewable power to SECI and uses solar trackers to follow the sun’s movement and optimise energy generation. It also deploys TP580HG10NB bifacial modules, which, combined with the tracking systems, are intended to improve land utilisation and generation efficiency.

The Koppal facility has a workforce of around 16 women professionals, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of the project-site workforce. They have contributed to technical execution, engineering, site management and team management, reflecting TPREL’s focus on a diverse workforce in the renewable energy sector.

The SECI tender included the development of the project and individual substations at Koppal and Gadag. It also provided for a 400/220 kV Gadag Pooling Station near Amaragatti village in Gajendragarh taluka, Gadag district, within a 5 km radius of the identified plot. Tender results showed that three bidders received projects at a tariff of Rs. 2.53 per kWh. TP Saurya received an award for 600 MW, AMP Energy Green received 120 MW and NTPC Renewable Energy received 450 MW.
