TATA Power Renewable Energy Delivers 1 GW Solar Project for SJVN Across Three States

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power), has confirmed full commissioning of  SJVN's 1 GW (1,000 MW AC / 1,400 MWp DC) DCR-compliant solar power project in India. In a press release, Tata Power said that all 2.4 million modules used in the project were manufactured at TP Solar Limited.  Spanning the Bandarwala and Karnisar Bhatiyan sites in Bikaner, Rajasthan, the project reflects the extensive scale of the development and is designed to deliver clean and reliable power across multiple states.

The capacity has been allocated to key state utilities—500 MW to Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited (RUVITL), 300 MW to Jammu & Kashmir Power Limited (JKPL), and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL)—ensuring power supply to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand. In its first year of operation, the project is expected to generate approximately 2,454.84 million units of green electricity.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has earlier commissioned a 450 MWp (DC) / 300 MW (AC) domestically manufactured (DCR) solar power project for NHPC Ltd at Karnisar Bhatiyan in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The erstwhile project was executed over two and a half years. It used DCR cells and bifacial modules supplied by TP Solar’s Tirunelveli facility. About 775,000 modules were installed across challenging desert terrain, the company said.

With the commissioning of this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility-scale capacity has reached 11.6 GW, including 4.9 GW executed as third-party EPC. Currently, 5.8 GW of Tata Power’s own capacity is operational, comprising 4.7 GW of solar and 1.1 GW of wind energy. Additionally, 5.8 GW is under various stages of implementation, evenly split between 3 GW of solar and 2.8 GW of wind projects. These ongoing projects are expected to be completed in phases over the next 3 to 24 months in a staggered manner.

SJVN Achieves COD of 1 GW Bikaner Solar Power Project in Rajasthan

SJVN’s subsidiary, SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), earlier this month achieved the start of Commercial Operation Date (COD) for its 1 GW Bikaner Solar Power Project. The Bikaner Solar Power Project in Rajasthan will generate 2,454.55 million units of electricity in its first year of operation and approximately 56,838 million units cumulatively over 25 years.

SJVN has earlier stated in a separate press release that the maximum tariff has been fixed at ₹2.57 per unit and that the project has been developed at a cost of ₹5,492 crore. The project has been executed under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) mode, utilising domestically manufactured solar photovoltaic cells and modules.
