Tata Power Renewable Energy Commissions 190.5 MW Solar FDRE Project in Rajasthan

Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) has commissioned its 190.5 MW Solar FDRE project at Kalasar, Bikaner, Rajasthan which is under the contractual capacity of 460 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) Project.

The 190.5 MW project has been developed under SJVN FDRE Tranche-1. The project will supply energy to Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL) and Noida Power Company (NPCL) discoms.

The project is integrating large-scale solar generation with advanced energy storage and grid support technologies to deliver dispatchable renewable power.

The project demonstrates TPREL's engineering excellence and execution capabilities, having overcome several complex challenges including compressed project timelines, global supply chain disruptions impacting the availability of transmission line materials, module mounting structures and other critical equipment. It has successfully adopted several new technologies such as BESS, Harmonic Filter Bank and Static Var Generator systems.

Among the project's notable execution milestones was the completion of the switchyard within just three months and the Harmonic Filter Bank within one month, reflecting TPREL's focus on speed, quality and execution excellence.

With this project, TPREL's total renewable utility capacity has reached 12.4 GW. Of this, around 6.9 GW is operational, including 5.6 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind capacity, while close to 5.5 GW is under various stages of implementation, and is expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 24 months. 

The company remains committed to developing innovative clean energy solutions that contribute to India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and Tata Power's vision of a sustainable energy future.
