Tata Power Renewable Energy Commissions 190.5 MW Solar FDRE Project in Rajasthan, Strengthening Dispatchable Clean Energy

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has commissioned a 190.5 MW Solar Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project at Kalasar in Bikaner, Rajasthan, marking another significant milestone in India’s transition towards reliable and dispatchable renewable power.

The newly commissioned project forms part of a larger 460 MW FDRE project being developed under SJVN FDRE Tranche-1. It combines large-scale solar generation with advanced energy storage and grid-support technologies to provide a more dependable supply of renewable electricity.

The project will supply power to key distribution utilities, including Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), and Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL).

A key feature of the project is its integration of a 115 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling renewable energy to be stored and dispatched when required. The facility also incorporates advanced technologies such as a Harmonic Filter Bank and Static Var Generator systems, supporting improved grid stability and power quality.

Despite challenges including compressed execution timelines and global supply-chain disruptions affecting critical transmission and project equipment, TPREL successfully completed the project, demonstrating its capabilities in executing complex renewable energy infrastructure.

With this commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility portfolio has reached approximately 12.4 GW, including around 6.9 GW of operational capacity, further strengthening its position in India’s rapidly expanding clean-energy sector.
