Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, today announced the commissioning of its **190.5 MW solar Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE)** project in Kalasar, Bikaner, Rajasthan. This project is crucial as it integrates large-scale solar generation with an advanced **115 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)**, enabling it to provide reliable, round-the-clock power. The power generated will be supplied to three distribution companies: Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), and Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL). With this commissioning, TPREL's total renewable utility capacity has now reached **12.4 GW**, with **6.9 GW** operational.
💭 If you're wondering…
Solar PV (photovoltaic) directly converts sunlight into electricity, which can be intermittent. FDRE solar integrates solar PV with energy storage systems like batteries, making the power supply more stable, predictable, and 'dispatchable' or available on demand.
