India, Maharashtra. Mumbai: Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Mumbai Distribution for an 80 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project.
The project will integrate solar, wind, and battery storage technologies to ensure consistent renewable energy delivery, even during peak demand periods. Designed to provide a four-hour peak power supply with at least 90 % availability, it will significantly enhance grid reliability and support Mumbai’s growing energy needs.
With an estimated investment of $135 M (₹1,200 crore), the project is expected to be completed within 24 months and generate around 315 million units of clean electricity annually, offsetting more than 0.25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
According to Tata Power, this initiative will play a key role in helping Tata Power Mumbai Distribution meet its Renewable Purchase Obligation under the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission framework. Once operational, the clean energy output will be integrated into Tata Power’s Mumbai network, supplying reliable, low-emission electricity to nearly 800,000 customers across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
With this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity reaches 11.3 GW, of which 9.4 GW is under PPA. The company currently operates 5.6 GW of renewable capacity – 4.6 GW solar and 1 GW wind – while an additional 5.7 GW is under development.
Tata Power’s solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) portfolio now exceeds 15.7 GWp of ground-mounted utility-scale systems and more than 3 GW of rooftop and distributed installations, reinforcing its position as one of India’s leading renewable energy developers.
