The electricity generated from the project will be supplied to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution and will help contribute towards its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets, according to the statement, which added that the move supports the utility's transition to becoming "a more sustainable and environmentally responsible Utility."
The project comprises 28 SG 3.6-145 Wind Turbine Generators using horizontal-axis wind turbine technology, and is expected to generate approximately 299 million units (kWh) of clean electricity annually, the statement said.
The project is expected to offset nearly 245 million kg of CO2 emissions every year, based on an estimated emissions reduction of 0.82 kg of CO2 per unit of electricity generated, according to the statement.
With this commissioning, TPREL's wind energy portfolio now exceeds 3.9 GW, including more than 1.3 GW of operational capacity, with the balance under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the statement said.
With the addition of the Jewali project, 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 capacity, while 4.9 GW is under various stages of implementation, according to the statement. The under-construction portfolio comprises approximately 2.1 GW of solar, 2.6 GW of wind projects and 0.2 GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS), which the company said are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 6-24 months.
The company described the project as advancing Tata Power's "long-term vision of achieving 100 percent clean energy generation by 2045."
The Tata Power Company Limited's total operational and pipeline capacity surpasses 26 GW, comprising approximately 17.5 GW of clean and green energy capacity, including projects under construction, and around 8.9 GW of thermal generation capacity, the statement said.
