Tata Power Renewable Energy Gets LoA For Supply of 200 MW From SJVN

Saudi's ACWA Power in PPA with South Africa for Dispatchable RE Project of 150 MW

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has received a Letter of Award (LOA) for developing a 200 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project with SJVN Limited (SJVN).

SJVN is an Indian public sector undertaking (PSU) involved in hydroelectric and renewable power generation and transmission. It has been designated as the Renewable Energy Implementing Agency (REIA) by MNRE for achieving the nation’s target of achieving 500 GW by 2030.

To meet the 200 MW FDRE requirement, the plant has been sized with a hybrid combination of solar, wind, and battery storage of appropriate capacities. This ensures that the energy generated by the plant is dispatched as and when needed by discoms during peak hours, providing stability to the grid. FDRE provides round-the-clock power supply and supports the discoms in meeting Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) and Energy Storage Obligation (ESO).

This is the first FDRE power tender won by TPREL. The tender includes a greenshoe option, allowing for additional capacity beyond the initial 200 MW.

The project is expected to be commissioned within 24 months from the PPA execution date. The project was awarded through competitive bidding, followed by a reverse e-auction. The installation will offset 9 lakh metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
