TPREL Arm to Build 12.5 MW Captive Solar Plant in Maharashtra

Tata Power Renewable Energy to Build 12.5 MW Captive Solar Plant in Maharashtra

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a renewable energy player and a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has signed a Power Delivery Agreement (PDA) with Endurance Technologies Limited, an auto component manufacturer, through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) TP Green Nature Limited. The firm will develop a 12.5 MW AC captive solar plant.

The plant will be set up at Aachegaon in Maharashtra and will generate 27.5 million units (MUs) of electricity every year. This will help in reducing carbon footprints of Endurance Technologies and mitigate approximately 9,125 metric tonnes (MT) of carbon emissions annually.

The project is expected to be completed within 12 months of the signing of the PDA.
