Tata Motors and Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) have announced a landmark partnership to develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid project, marking a major stride in India’s industrial decarbonization and renewable energy ambitions.
Key Highlights:
-
Strategic Collaboration: The partnership leverages Tata Motors’ commitment to net-zero emissions and Tata Power’s leadership in renewable energy, aiming to power Tata Motors’ operations with clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy.
-
Project Scale: The 131 MW wind-solar hybrid project will integrate both solar and wind generation, optimizing energy output and grid stability. This hybrid approach is designed to maximize renewable energy utilization and ensure round-the-clock green power supply.
-
Sustainability Impact: The initiative will significantly reduce Tata Motors’ carbon footprint by replacing a substantial portion of its conventional energy consumption with renewables, supporting both companies’ ESG goals and India’s national climate targets.
-
Industry Leadership: Tata Power Renewable Energy is one of India’s top utility-scale solar and wind developers, with a total renewable capacity of 10.9 GW and a strong track record in hybrid and complex projects. Tata Motors, meanwhile, is a frontrunner in sustainable manufacturing and electric mobility.
-
Recent Achievements: Tata Power recently signed a 200 MW hybrid project PPA with NTPC and continues to expand its renewable footprint across India, while Tata Motors has been ramping up on-site solar installations at its manufacturing facilities, including a 12 MWp solar project in Pune.
-
Market Context: The move comes as India accelerates its renewable energy transition, with major corporates seeking to decarbonize supply chains and meet RE100 commitments. Hybrid projects like this are increasingly favored for their ability to provide firm, dispatchable green power.
This partnership not only strengthens Tata Group’s sustainability leadership but also sets a new benchmark for industrial renewable energy adoption in India, paving the way for a greener, more resilient future.
