Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), an arm of Tata Power, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd (OREDA Ltd), Odisha’s nodal agency for renewable energy, to accelerate rooftop solar adoption among residential customers under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana (PMSGY) in Odisha.
Odisha offers up to INR 60,000 in subsidies for up to 3 kW rooftop solar systems, among the highest in India. Along with INR 78,000 of Central Government subsidy under PMSGY, the total subsidy available to consumers is up to INR 138,000 for up to 3 kW rooftop units.
Tata Power manages power distribution in Odisha through its four DISCOMs in partnership with the State Government. The PMSGY scheme will be implemented through the DISCOMs, which will play a pivotal role in bringing solar energy to households.
OREDA has listed Tata Power Renewable Energy as one of its preferred solar partners. This collaboration targets to solarize three lakh households in the next three years, i.e., till 2027.
“TPREL, which will be listed as one of its preferred solar partners by OREDA, will play a pivotal role in this adoption by ensuring reliable and hassle-free solar solutions with lifetime care. The company along with OREDA and its financial/banking partners will lead targeted awareness drives at high-footfall locations such as airports, malls and railway stations. To strengthen community engagement, the company will also develop educational materials on renewable energy benefits, conduct sessions for local vendors, and foster local technical expertise by training rooftop installation and maintenance staff,” stated TPREL.
“OREDA Ltd will collaborate with TPREL on the promotion of public awareness campaigns on various platforms, provide guidance to government agencies, and conduct regular reviews to ensure the initiative’s success. The initiative will begin by focusing on key cities—Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Paradip, Berhampur, Sambalpur, Balasore and Rourkela and gradually expand state-wide.”
