Tata Power Renewable commissions 100.8 MW Jewali wind project in Maharashtra
Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has commissioned the 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in the Dharashiv district of Maharashtra. The project has been connected to the grid and will supply electricity to Tata Power’s Mumbai distribution network, supporting the utility in meeting its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets.
The project comprises 28 SG 3.6-145 wind turbine generators using horizontal-axis technology. It is expected to generate around 299 million units (kWh) of clean electricity annually. Based on an estimated emission factor of 0.82 kg of COâ‚‚ per unit, the project is expected to offset nearly 245 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Following the commissioning of the Jewali project, TPREL’s total operational wind capacity has crossed 1.3 GW. The company also has a total wind portfolio of more than 3.9 GW, including projects under development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. This includes 6.7 GW that is operational, comprising 5.4 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind capacity. Another 4.9 GW is under implementation, including around 2.1 GW of solar, 2.6 GW of wind, and 0.2 GW of battery energy storage systems. These projects are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 6 to 24 months.
The Jewali Wind Project supports TPREL’s stated long-term objective of achieving 100% clean energy generation by 2045.
The parent company, The Tata Power Company Limited, has a total operational and pipeline capacity of more than 26 GW, including around 17.5 GW of clean energy capacity and 8.9 GW of thermal generation. It also operates more than 7,400 ckm of transmission lines and serves nearly 13 million distribution customers.
