Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has commissioned its 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Maharashtra’s Dharashiv district, further strengthening its renewable energy portfolio and reinforcing its commitment to India’s clean energy transition. The electricity generated by the wind project will be supplied to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution, supporting the utility’s Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) requirements while accelerating the adoption of clean energy across its distribution network.

The commissioning marks another milestone in TPREL’s renewable energy expansion strategy and highlights the company’s ability to execute large-scale wind power projects efficiently. It also aligns with Tata Power’s long-term objective of increasing the share of renewable energy in its generation portfolio and supporting India’s decarbonisation goals.

The Jewali Wind Project comprises 28 advanced SG 3.6-145 Wind Turbine Generators equipped with horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to generate nearly 299 million units (kWh) of clean electricity annually, providing reliable renewable power to consumers while reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.

The project is also expected to deliver significant environmental benefits by offsetting approximately 245 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Based on an estimated reduction of 0.82 kg of COâ‚‚ per unit of electricity generated, the project will make a meaningful contribution to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and advancing India’s climate commitments.

With the commissioning of the Jewali facility, TPREL’s total wind energy portfolio has now crossed 3.9 GW. More than 1.3 GW of this capacity is operational, while the remaining projects are under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The project further supports Tata Power’s long-term vision of achieving 100 percent clean energy generation by 2045. By steadily expanding its renewable energy footprint, the company continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s leading clean energy developers.

Following the addition of the Jewali Wind 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 power and 1.3 GW of wind power. The remaining 4.9 GW is currently under implementation. The 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 System (BESS) capacity. These projects are scheduled to be commissioned in phases over the next six to twenty-four months, further enhancing Tata Power’s renewable energy capabilities and supporting India’s transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable power sector.

The Tata Power Company Limited, part of the Tata Group, is one of India’s leading integrated power companies with a diversified presence across the entire electricity value chain. The company has an operational and under-development power generation portfolio exceeding 26 GW, comprising approximately 17.5 GW of clean energy capacity, including projects under construction, and about 8.9 GW of thermal power capacity. This balanced energy mix supports reliable and sustainable power generation while advancing India’s clean energy transition. Tata Power also has a strong transmission and distribution network, with more than 7,400 circuit kilometres of transmission lines, including projects under development, and supplies electricity to nearly 13 million consumers, making it one of the country’s largest private power distribution companies.

Expanding its clean energy ecosystem, the company has established 4.9 GW of integrated solar cell and module manufacturing capacity, secured 2.8 GW of pumped hydro storage projects, and built one of India’s largest electric vehicle charging networks with over 7,000 public charging points across 706 cities and towns. Committed to sustainable growth, Tata Power continues to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, grid modernisation and next-generation energy solutions, while pursuing its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 through innovation, strategic investments and partnerships across the public and private sectors.
