Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has commissioned its 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Maharashtra's Dharashiv district, further expanding its renewable energy portfolio and boosting clean power supply to Mumbai.
The electricity generated from the project will be supplied to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution to help meet its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets and support its transition towards cleaner energy.
The Jewali Wind Project comprises 28 SG 3.6-145 wind turbine generators based on advanced horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. It is expected to generate around 299 million units of clean electricity annually, enough to strengthen the utility's renewable energy mix significantly.
According to the company, the project will offset nearly 245 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions every year, contributing to India's decarbonisation goals and Tata Power's clean energy ambitions.
With the commissioning of the Jewali project, TPREL's wind energy portfolio has crossed 3.9 GW, including more than 1.3 GW of operational capacity, while the remaining projects are under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The addition also takes TPREL's total renewable utility capacity to 11.6 GW. Of this, 6.7 GW is operational, comprising 5.4 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind capacity, while another 4.9 GW is under implementation.
Its under-construction renewable portfolio includes around 2.1 GW of solar, 2.6 GW of wind and 0.2 GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, which are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next six to 24 months.
Meanwhile, the American tech giant, Apple, in May announced a Rs 100 crore investment in India as part of its broader plan to become carbon neutral across its entire footprint by 2030.
The investment will be made in partnership with one of the country's major renewable energy developers, CleanMax and will support the creation of over 150 megawatts of new clean energy capacity. The trillion-dollar company said that this would be enough to power nearly 1.5 lakh Indian households every year, with room for further expansion in the coming years.
The company said the initiative is aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy across its supply chain operations in India.
The American multinational tech company had earlier worked with CleanMax on rooftop solar projects that now supply 100 per cent renewable energy to its offices and retail stores in India.
Sarah Chandler, Apple's Vice President of Environment and Supply Chain Innovation, said, "Our commitment to the environment is also a driving force for innovation across the company and around the world." She added, "We are proud to expand our efforts to invest in India's clean energy economy and protect the country's precious natural resources."
