Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power , commissioned the 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Dharashiv district, Maharashtra, on July 3, 2026. The facility will supply electricity to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution, aiding compliance with Renewable Purchase Obligation targets and supporting the transition to sustainable energy operations.

The project utilizes 28 SG 3.6-145 Wind Turbine Generators based on horizontal-axis technology. It is expected to generate approximately 299 million units (kWh) of clean electricity annually. This generation will offset nearly 245 million kg of CO2 emissions every year, calculated at an estimated reduction of 0.82 kg of CO2 per unit of electricity generated.

With the addition of this project, TPREL's wind energy portfolio now exceeds 3.9 GW. This includes more than 1.3 GW of operational capacity, with the remaining capacity under development across states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

The commissioning of the Jewali Wind Project has increased TPREL's total renewable utility capacity to 11.6 GW. Of this total, 6.7 GW is operational, comprising 5.4 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind capacity. A further 4.9 GW is under implementation, consisting of approximately 2.1 GW of solar, 2.6 GW of wind projects, and 0.2 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 6-24 months.

Operational Capacity Overview

The project advances Tata Power's vision of achieving 100% clean energy generation by 2045. The Tata Power Company Limited maintains a total operational and pipeline capacity surpassing 26 GW, which includes approximately 17.5 GW of clean and green energy capacity and around 8.9 GW of thermal generation capacity.

Tata Power has received an extension from the Ministry of Power for Section 11 instructions related to its Mundra Thermal Plant, with the extended directive remaining in effect until September 30. The development underscores the ongoing regulatory oversight of the Mundra facility by the central government.

Extension of Section 11 Instructions

The Ministry of Power has granted Tata Power an extension of Section 11 instructions specifically applicable to the Mundra Thermal Plant. Section 11 of the Electricity Act enables the central government to issue directions to generating companies to operate their plants under specified conditions, typically invoked to ensure the stability and adequacy of electricity supply across the country.

Regulatory Context

The extension of Section 11 instructions indicates that the Ministry of Power continues to maintain regulatory directives over the Mundra Thermal Plant's operations. Such instructions are typically issued to ensure uninterrupted power generation and grid stability. The Mundra Thermal Plant has historically been subject to regulatory and policy discussions, and this latest extension reflects the government's continued focus on managing power supply through available generating assets.
