By GlobalDataTata Power managing director and CEO Dr Praveer Sinha said: “Commissioning of India’s largest single-axis solar tracker system of the 300MW solar plant at Dholera in Gujarat within the set timelines is a proud moment for Tata Power.
“Our technical expertise and project execution skills will further solidify our position in the solar EPC space and help India lead the way in renewable energy growth.”
The solar facility has increased Tata Power’s operational renewable capacity to 3.4GW. This includes 2.4GW of solar and 932MW of wind capacity.
The company’s total renewable capacity is said to be more than 4.9GW, with renewable projects in various stages of development accounting for 1.5GW of this.
Earlier this year, TPREL commissioned two solar PV projects, each with 50MW of capacity, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The two facilities will collectively have the capacity to generate more than 221.26 million units of clean power a year.
They are located in the state’s Prayagraj and Banda regions respectively.
