Mumbai: Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, on Friday commissioned its 100.8 MW Jewali wind project in Dharashiv district of Maharashtra, further expanding its renewable energy portfolio. The power generated from the project will be supplied to Tata Power Mumbai distribution — for over 8 lakh electricity consumers in the island city and suburbs.“The renewable energy generated by the facility is projected to offset nearly 245 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions every year, making a significant contribution to decarbonisation efforts and reducing dependence on conventional power sources. It is aimed at supporting the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy mix for consumers in Mumbai,” said a senior Tata Power official.The Jewali Wind Project comprises 28 wind turbine generators of 3.6 MW capacity each, employing advanced horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. According to the company, the project is expected to generate around 299 million units of clean electricity annually.With the commissioning of the project, TPREL’s wind energy portfolio has crossed 3.9 GW, including more than 1.3 GW of operational wind capacity. The remaining projects are under various stages of development across states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.The company said the latest addition aligns with Tata Power’s long-term goal of achieving 100% clean energy generation by 2045. The project also strengthens TPREL’s position in India’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.Following the commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. Of this, 6.7 GW is operational, comprising 5.4 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind energy capacity, while another 4.9 GW is under implementation.The under-construction portfolio includes about 2.1 GW of solar projects, 2.6 GW of wind projects and 0.2 GW of battery energy storage systems, which are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next six to 24 months, an official added.
