Tata Power and NHPC partner to install rooftop solar on government buildings, aiming for 100% solarisation by 2025 under PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
On Thursday, Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd, subsidiary of Tata Power Company Ltd, announced it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NHPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NHPC-REL) for the installation of Rooftop Solar Projects (RTS Projects) across government buildings of central ministries, states, and union territories.
Under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana Scheme, a flagship initiative of the Government of India, this collaboration aims to achieve 100% solarization of government-owned buildings by December 2025. This scheme not only promotes the use of renewable energy but also reduces the carbon footprint and energy costs, making it a significant step towards a sustainable future.
This powerful alliance is set to support the transformation of India’s energy landscape by harnessing the untapped potential of rooftop spaces on government buildings, fostering a cleaner and greener future. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on July 17, 2024, at the NHPC Office Complex in Faridabad. This initiative, with its potential to inspire and bring hope for a sustainable future, is a significant step towards a cleaner and greener India.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has appointed NHPC Limited as a Scheme Implementing Partner (SIP) to drive the RTS Projects, which its wholly-owned subsidiary, NHPC-REL, will carry out. TPREL, a distinguished leader in the solar energy sector, brings extensive expertise in project management, technology, and execution to ensure the seamless and timely execution of these projects, thereby assuring the audience of the success of this initiative.
This partnership embodies a mutual commitment to sustainability and innovation in the renewable energy domain. By combining forces, TPREL and NHPC-REL are poised to make significant strides toward India’s renewable energy objectives, setting new standards for future endeavours in the industry. This commitment reassures the audience and fosters optimism for the future of renewable energy in India, reinforcing the belief in a sustainable and greener future.
