The Company is on a multi-fold growth path. Here's a quick look at the projects that are under implementation:
236 MW Dugar Hydro Project: The Tata
Power - SN Power consortium won the bid for 236 MW Dugar Hydro Power
Project in Himachal Pradesh. The run of the river "Dugar Hydro Electric
Project" will primarily feed the Northern grid. Currently, the project
is being optimized for 380 MW.
1600 MW Coastal Maharashtra Project: All
statutory clearances required to start the project implementation are
in place. Land acquisition is in progress. The Company also signed an
Agreement with Maharashtra State Government for the Relief &
Rehabilitation (R&R) package for the farmers in the Dehrand /
Shahpur villages. Economic options for coal sourcing and logistics are
under evaluation.
1980 MW Tiruldih Power Project, Jharkhand: The
process of land acquisition for the project is in progress.
In-principle clearance has been received from Railways for
transportation of coal from Tubed Coal Block. Tubed Coal Block has been
jointly allotted to Tata Power and Hindalco in Jharkhand.
660 MW Naraj Marthapur, Orissa: The
major clearances for the project have been obtained. Land acquisition is
in progress. The Company has been allotted the Mandakini coal block
located in the Angul district of Orissa, along with Monnet Ispat and
Energy Limited, and Jindal Photo Limited, which will feed coal to the
plant.
Kalinganagar, Orissa 3X67.5 MW (Gas based) +3X150 MW (Coal+gas based): The
project is being executed through Industrial Energy Limited, a JV of
the Company with Tata Steel Limited in the eastern part of Orissa.
126 MW Dagachhu Hydro Project: Tata
Power has a JV with Druk Green Power Company (a Royal Government of
Bhutan Company) through which it is implementing a 126 MW Dagachhu Hydro
Project.
240 MW Sorik Marapi Geothermal Project: A
consortium led by Tata Power along with Origin Energy Ltd., Australia
and PT Supraco, Indonesia won the Sorik Marapi geothermal project in
Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The Sorik Marapi project is estimated to
suppor t the development of approximately 240 MW of geothermal
generation capacity and is currently under development.
Distribution Franchisee in Jamshedpur: Tata
Power has been selected to work as a Distribution Franchisee (DF) in
Jamshedpur Circle of Jharkhand State Electricity Board (JSEB). The
operations are expected to begin by mid 2013.
Leading Renewable player
Harnessing Hydro Power: The Company has an installed hydro capacity of 447 MW
in Maharashtra. Tata Power and Norway-based SN Power entered into an
exclusive partnership to develop hydro power projects in India and
Nepal. The consortium is developing the "236 MW Dugar Hydro Electric Project" in Chenab Valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. Tata Power through a JV with the Royal Government of Bhutan is implementing the 126 MW Dagachhu Hydro Project. The Company is prospecting further opportunities to bid and acquire hydro projects.
Harnessing Solar Energy: Tata Power has a strong portfolio of 28+ MW of solar generation capacity. It commissioned its solar power project of 25 MW in Mithapur, Gujarat in January 2012 and has also executed a 3 MW solar photo-voltaic plant at Mulshi,
one of the largest grid-connected solar projects in the State of
Maharashtra. The Company had set up its first solar power plant of 110
kW, way back in 1996 at Walwhan in Lonavla. A 60.48 kWp solar power plant
has been installed on the rooftop of one of the Company's offices in
Mumbai and the power generated by these solar panels is expected to take
the lighting load of the entire building.
Innovations: Floating Solar Plant: The Company has partnered with the Australian company, Sunengy Pty. Ltd. to build the first floating solar plant in India.
Harnessing Wind Energy: Tata Power has an installed capacity of 398 MW
and plants spread across five states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka and Rajasthan, the leading states in promoting wind
power generation in India. Another 180 MW of wind projects are under
construction in the states of Rajasthan (Dalot 100.5) and Maharashtra
(Pethshivpur 49.5, Visapur 32 MW).
Exploring Geothermal Power : 240 MW Sorik Marapi Geothermal Project:
A consortium led by Tata Power (47.5%) along with Origin Energy Ltd.,
Australia (47.5%) and PT Supraco, Indonesia (5%) won the Sorik Marapi
geothermal project in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The Sorik Marapi
project is estimated to support the development of approximately 240 MW
of geothermal generation capacity The project currently is in
exploration development phase.
Waste Gas Generation: Tata Power has
set up various plants at Haldia and in Jamshedpur (Power 6) based on
the blast furnace and coke oven gases which are waste gases from steel
making process which help in reducing greenhouse gas emission
significantly. It's looking at other similar projects with Tata Steel.
Focus on Clean technologies: Tata Power is experimenting with span of unique pilot projects across energy sources:
- Biomass gasification: A 250kW system using rice husk will be installed at the Tata hydro power plant near Karjat. If successful, this technology can be taken to hundreds of villages.
-
Concentrated photovoltaic (C-PV): A 13.5kW pilot unit is being developed in which sunrays are concentrated on PV cells and the assembly floats on Walwhan lake (Maharashtra) in order to cool the cells. If successful, this technology can be scaled up across all the lakes that provide hydro power to Tata plants in West Maharashtra and thus generate about 1,000 MW.
-
Solar powered telecom towers: More than 600,000 telecom towers in India use diesel generator sets to provide power to their antennas. Tata Power Solar Solutions Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of Tata Power is providing solar PV panels that can replace the gensets on 25 such installations. This technology can be upgraded to augment power to local grids.
-
High altitude wind: Tata Power will test a 35kW turbine mounted on a blimp that will float 333m above the ground to catch winds that are more intense and sustained at that altitude.
-
Micro wind turbine: The company will test a 2kW wind turbine that can be mounted on roof tops and provide power to homes
