Tata Power sign MoU with NHPC-REL for Solarisation of Government Buildings
Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has signed a MoU with NHPC Renewable Energy Limited (NHPC-REL). This collaboration aims to install rooftop solar projects across government buildings of Central Ministries, States, and Union Territories, under the ambitious PM Surya Ghar Yojna Scheme.
The initiative, targeting 100% solarization of government-owned buildings by December 2025, marks a substantial step in India’s renewable energy landscape. The MoU was signed recently at the NHPC Office Complex in Faridabad.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has appointed NHPC Limited as a Scheme Implementing Partner (SIP) to drive these projects, which will be executed by its subsidiary, NHPC-REL. TPREL, known for its leadership in the solar energy sector, will leverage its expertise to ensure the efficient and timely completion of these projects.
Deepesh Nanda, CEO & MD of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited commented, “We are excited to join hands with NHPC-REL in this significant venture to solarize government buildings across India. This collaboration represents a major step forward in our shared vision of a sustainable and green energy future. By leveraging our combined strengths, we are confident in achieving our goal of 100% solarisation by 2025, setting a benchmark for renewable energy projects in the country.”
R. P. Goyal, CMD NHPC added, “Partnering with Tata Power Renewables aligns perfectly with our mission to expand the use of renewable energy in India. This initiative will not only help us meet our solarisation targets but also contribute significantly to reducing the carbon footprint of government buildings. We look forward to a successful collaboration that paves the way for more sustainable energy solutions.”
This partnership highlights a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation, aiming to harness the potential of rooftop spaces on government buildings. By joining forces, TPREL and NHPC-REL are set to make significant advancements in India’s renewable energy goals, setting a precedent for future industry endeavors.
