TP Renewable Microgrid (TPRMG), a 100% Subsidiary of Tata Power has commissioned its 100th Solar Microgrid project in a remote & small village of Ratnapur, Uttar Pradesh on 26th November, 2020, coinciding with its first anniversary.
This 30kW Microgrid project harnesses energy from the sun using solar panels. The microgrid has a battery as an energy storage system. For the back-up power supply, a DG-set has been installed in the Microgrid itself, enabling 24x7 power supply to the community.
With the commissioning of Ratnapur project, the total installed capacity of TPRMG's solar microgrid projects stands at 3MW. The company took 10 months to commission its first 100th Microgrid inspite of COVID-19 restrictions however, it is now focusing to commission its next 100th Microgrid in less than 4 months' time. Currently, there are around 50 projects which are in various stages of project execution.
"Through our off-grid solutions like solar microgrids, we wish to help rural communities in India to meet their urgent power needs in a quick and economical manner. This project will not only provide reliable power supply to the villages, but also work towards improving the livelihood and bring about socio-economic development of the community as a whole," said Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power Company Limited.
