Private power utility Tata Power today announced commissioning of the remaining 8 MW of the 32-MW wind farm at Girijashankarwadi in Maharashtra.
“With this commissioning, Tata Power’s total wind generation capacity stands at 470.6 MW,” the company said in a statement.
The wind farm is expected to generate approximately 62 million units (MUs) per year which will be procured by Tata Power-Distribution towards fulfilment of its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO).
With this commissioning, Tata Power’s total generation capacity stands at 8,623 MW.
The company has wind farms located across five states — Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Tata Power has developed this project through its 100 per cent subsidiary, Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL).
TPREL also has a further 300 MW of wind capacity under development and construction in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
““Wind energy is an important part of our renewable energy portfolio and we aim to add 150-200 MW annually. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through the generation of 20-25 per cent of our total capacity through clean and renewable energy sources,” Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power, said.
