Tata Power will develop a cumulative 41 MW of grid-connected solar plants for Tata Steel in Jharkhand and Odisha. The projects, at Jamshedpur (21.97 MWp) and Kalinganagar (19.22 MWp), will be a combination of the rooftop, floating, and ground-mounted solar panels
Tata Power and Tata Steel, both under the Tata Group, have signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the electricity generated from the 41MW solar project.
At Jamshedpur, Tata Power will develop a rooftop PV plant with a 7.57 MWp capacity, floating 10.8 MWp, and ground-mounted 3.6 MWp. The ground-mounted PV will be installed at the Sonari Airport of Jamshedpur.
Kalinganagar will have 9.12 MWp of rooftop PV capacities and 10.10 MWp floating PV.
