Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has commissioned the 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Dharashiv district, Maharashtra, expanding its operational renewable energy portfolio. According to the company, the project will supply electricity to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution to support Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) compliance. The wind farm is expected to generate around 299 million units of electricity annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 245 million kg each year. With the commissioning, TPREL's wind portfolio has crossed 3.9 GW, while its total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW, including projects under construction across multiple states.
Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has commissioned the 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Dharashiv district, Maharashtra, strengthening its renewable energy generation capacity. According to the company, the project will supply electricity to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution and contribute towards meeting Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) requirements while increasing the share of renewable power in its distribution network.
The wind project comprises 28 SG 3.6-145 Wind Turbine Generators installed using horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. TPREL said the facility has been designed to generate approximately 299 million units (kWh) of electricity annually.
According to the company, the project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 245 million kg each year, based on an estimated emissions reduction factor of 0.82 kg of CO for every unit of electricity generated. The company stated that the project forms part of its broader efforts to expand low-carbon electricity generation and strengthen its renewable energy portfolio.
With the commissioning of the Jewali project, TPREL's total wind energy portfolio has exceeded 3.9 GW. The company said this includes more than 1.3 GW of operational wind generation capacity, with the remaining projects under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The commissioning also increases TPREL's overall renewable utility capacity to 11.6 GW. According to the company, 6.7 GW of this capacity is operational, comprising 5.4 GW of solar power and 1.3 GW of wind energy. The remaining 4.9 GW is under implementation across different renewable energy technologies.
TPREL stated that its under-construction portfolio includes approximately 2.1 GW of solar projects, 2.6 GW of wind projects and 0.2 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These projects are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next six to 24 months.
The company said the commissioning of the Jewali Wind Project supports its long-term objective of increasing renewable energy generation and aligns with its target of achieving 100 per cent clean energy generation by 2045. The project also adds to Tata Power's expanding renewable energy infrastructure as it continues to develop utility-scale solar, wind and energy storage assets across multiple states.
