India’s Tata Power Renewable Energy has received a letter of award to build a 966MW hybrid renewable power project for Tata Steel via its subsidiary, TP Vardhaman Surya.

The round-the-clock (RTC) hybrid project will feature 379MW of solar and 587MW of wind power capacity.

It is one of the biggest industrial RTC power projects under India’s group captive regime, which governs units set up by industries for their own consumption.

Tata Power managing director and CEO Dr Praveer Sinha stated: “Tata Power and Tata Steel are committed to jointly developing green energy solutions.

“The 966MW RTC hybrid renewable power project marks a significant step towards our combined efforts to accelerate the adoption of clean and green energy to meet the net-zero target.”

Tata Steel produces 35 million tonnes (t) of crude steel annually and is one of the world’s most geographically diversified producers.
