Tata Power Renewables Commissions 100.8 MW Wind Project in Maharashtra

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd has commissioned its 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Maharashtra's Dharashiv district. The project pushes the company's total renewable utility capacity to 11.6 GW, according to a regulatory filing.

The 100.8 MW facility uses 28 SG 3.6-145 wind turbine generators. It is expected to generate around 299 million units of clean electricity annually while offsetting nearly 245 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions every year, the company said.

Power from the Jewali project will be supplied to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution. That helps the utility meet its renewable purchase obligation (RPO) targets. Filing the project's commissioning with stock exchanges is a standard procedure.

TPREL's wind portfolio now stands at over 3.9 GW. Operational wind capacity is roughly 1.3 GW, with the rest at various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The overall renewable utility portfolio of 11.6 GW splits into 6.7 GW operational – 5.4 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind.

The remaining 4.9 GW is under implementation. That includes 2.1 GW of solar projects, 2.6 GW of wind projects and 0.2 GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS). The company expects to commission these over the next 6 to 24 months.
