October 6, 2025: Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Mumbai Distribution to establish an 80 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project. The venture, estimated to cost around Rs 1,200 crore, will be completed within 24 months.
The FDRE model integrates solar and wind energy generation with battery storage technology, allowing consistent power delivery even during peak demand periods. This innovative setup enhances grid stability and ensures a reliable, round-the-clock energy supply. According to Tata Power, the project is expected to generate approximately 315 million units of electricity annually and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 0.25 million tonnes each year, reinforcing the company’s broader sustainability goals.
A key feature of the initiative is its capacity to guarantee power supply for four hours during peak periods with a minimum of 90 per cent assured availability. This will directly support Tata Power Mumbai Distribution’s customers amid rising energy consumption. The project will also help the utility fulfil its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), as stipulated by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Once operational, the renewable power will be integrated into Tata Power’s Mumbai distribution network, providing low-emission electricity to around 800,000 consumers across residential, commercial, and industrial categories. The development is expected to strengthen Mumbai’s energy security while advancing the city’s shift towards cleaner and more reliable power sources.
With this addition, TPREL’s total renewable energy capacity now stands at 11.3 GW, including 9.4 GW under signed PPAs and 5.6 GW already operational—comprising 4.6 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind capacity. The company’s solar EPC portfolio has also surpassed 15.7 GW of ground-mounted and over 3 GW of rooftop installations nationwide.
