Neemuch: Tata Power Renewable Energy Commissions 431 MWp Solar Project

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company, developed a 431 MWp DC solar project at Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, said the company.TATA Power used a combination of single-axis trackers and bifacial glass-to-glass modules in this project. This tracker would enable better solar yield by tracking the sun’s movement and capturing reflected light from the ground. Using this tracker would thereby increase the efficiency of the project by at least 15%, the company elaborated.

The company said, "TATA Power executed this project under the 'Solutions for Power Producer' category and completed it within 17 months. This project can generate close to 9 crore units of electricity, which is enough to meet the energy needs of around 95% of Indore.The installation spans 2,000 acres and incorporates 765,408 bifacial glass-to-glass solar modules. The plant has been designed with a DC capacity of 431 MWp and an AC output of 330 MW, optimized for high-efficiency energy conversion and system performance."

TATA Power's Previous Project in Neemuch

In December 2024, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) commissioned a 431 MW DC solar project at Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh. The erstwhile solar project is spread across 1,635.63 acres of land. TPREL said that this was India’s first solar project site to incorporate a combination of single-axis trackers and bi-facial modules. They further added that this integration boosted the efficiency of the entire system by over 15%, enabling peak power supply for extended hours. The project was built by overcoming several challenges, including rocky terrain, transmission line readiness, and remote site logistics.
