Tata Power and Tata Motors have collaborated to develop a seven MWp solar rooftop project at the latter’s passenger vehicle plant in Chikhali, Pune.
This is the third phase of the two companies’ joint 17 MWp on-site solar project, of which 10 MWp has already been installed. For this solar project, the two companies recently signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The rooftop installation is expected to generate 23 million units of electricity and save 5.23 lakh tonnes of CO2. This is the equivalent of planting 8.36 lakh trees over the course of a lifetime.
With the new installation, Tata Power will move closer to its goal of 100% renewable energy in its operations, said Mr. Rajesh Khatri, Vice President, Operations, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd.
Tata Power has executed several large solar rooftop solutions, including one of the world’s largest rooftop (16MW) at Radhasoami Satsang Beas (RSSB) in Amritsar.
