Tata Power’s renewable arm has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to deliver 80 MW of firm, dispatchable clean energy to Mumbai’s distribution grid. This marks a big step toward linking clean power with reliability.

The hybrid project will combine solar, wind and battery storage so energy is available when needed. It aims for four hours of peak delivery at at least 90% availability. The facility is expected to produce about 315 million units annually. It will cut more than 250,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) signed the PPA with Tata Power Mumbai Distribution. The capital cost is about Rs 1,200 crore (roughly USD 145 million). The project is due within 24 months. This deal tightens the link between generation and distribution. Mumbai customers will see cleaner and more dependable power.

This new PPA raises TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity to 11.3 GW, comprising 9.4 GW under PPAs and 5.7 GW in progress. Its operational capacity is 5.6 GW made of 4.6 GW solar plus 1 GW wind.

For Mumbai’s 800,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers, the project will help meet state-mandated renewable purchase obligations. It also supports India’s national goal of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.
