Tata Power to develop 100 MW solar project in Dholera solar park
October 14, 2020
Tata Power has won a deal from the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) to develop a 100 MW solar project in Dholera Solar Park of Gujarat.
The solar energy generated will be supplied to GUVNL under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), valid for a period of 25 years from scheduled commercial operation date.
Tata Power has won this capacity in a bid announced by GUVNL in March 2020. The project has to be commissioned within 15 months from the date of execution of the PPA.
The cumulative capacity under development in Gujarat would be 620 MW out of which 400 MW will be in Dholera Solar Park.
Tata Power aims to generate 35-40 percent of Tata Powerâs total generation capacity from clean energy sources.
The solar power plant is expected to generate about 246 MUs of energy per year and will annually offset approximately 246 million kilograms of carbon dioxide.
Tata Powerâs renewable capacity will increase to 3936 MW, out of which 2637 MW is already operational and 1299 MW is under implementation including 100 MW won under this LoA.
