Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Motors Limited to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project. This initiative is set to provide clean electricity exclusively to six Tata Motors manufacturing facilities across Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Expected to generate nearly 300 million units of green energy per year, the project is also projected to offset over 2 lakh tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The move supports Tata Motors’ progress toward achieving its RE-100 target and contributes to the company’s broader environmental goal of net-zero emissions.
With this development, TPREL’s total group captive capacity will exceed 1.5 GW. The company uses a hybrid model that combines wind, solar, floating solar, and battery storage technologies, offering consistent renewable energy supply with a focus on cost efficiency.
TPREL continues to expand its presence in the commercial and industrial sectors, supporting energy transitions across industries such as steel, automotive, hospitality, and retail. It has previously partnered with Tata Group entities including Tata Steel, Tata Communications, and Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) for similar renewable energy projects.
Currently, TPREL operates approximately 478 MW of renewable energy under its group captive portfolio. An additional 1.1 GW of capacity is under various stages of development and expected to be commissioned over the next two years.
Tata Power is an integrated power utility and part of the Tata Group. Its energy portfolio of 15.7 GW spans renewable and conventional generation, transmission, distribution, and solar manufacturing. With 6.8 GW in renewable generation, the company has a 44% clean energy share. It also offers services such as rooftop solar, EV charging, microgrids, and energy storage, serving around 12.5 million customers across India.
