Mumbai, Nov. 10 -- Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has commissioned a 300 MW solar project for the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) in Koppal, Karnataka. The company announced the commissioning on Thursday.
TP Saurya, a wholly owned subsidiary of TPREL, developed the project. The facility will supply renewable power to SECI and is expected to generate 810 MUs of renewable energy annually.
The project is also estimated to help reduce carbon emissions by 103,820 tonnes each year. Its commissioning adds to TPREL's utility-scale renewable energy portfolio and supports the company's expansion in clean power generation.
Around 16 women professionals, representing nearly 40 per cent of the workforce at the project site, contributed to its delivery. They worked in roles including site managers and site engineers, supporting technical execution, engineering and team management.
The participation of women professionals reflects their increasing presence in technical and leadership positions across India's renewable energy sector. Following the addition of the Karnataka project, TPREL's total renewable utility capacity has reached 12 GW.
Of the total capacity, about 7.2 GW is operational. This includes 5.8 GW of solar capacity and 1.3 GW of wind capacity, while nearly 4.9 GW is under implementation at various stages.
