Tata Power signs 350 MW solar PPAs with MSEDCL

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has inked two significant Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for the commissioning of two solar power projects. The projects, one of 200 MW under phase 9 tender and another of 150 MW under phase 7 tender, will be instrumental in meeting the state’s renewable energy targets.

These solar installations, set to be operational by mid-2025, are projected to generate approximately 536 million units of clean energy annually from the 200 MW project and 389 million units from the 150 MW project. Remarkably, this will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 4,28,800 tons and 3,11,200 tons per year, respectively, contributing significantly to combat climate change.
