TP Saurya Limited (TPSL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, has recently commissioned a 200 MW solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. This project is anticipated to generate approximately 485 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Moreover, the project will seamlessly integrate into the Central Transmission Utility (CTU), ensuring efficient distribution of solar power in Rajasthan.
The project boasts around 523,365 installed modules and is poised to have a significant impact on environmental sustainability, with an estimated annual decrease of 388,000 metric tons of carbon footprint. Additionally, it aligns with Rajasthan's solar energy policy, supporting the state's commitment to renewable energy initiatives.
TPREL, with a total renewable capacity of 9,018 MW (7,632 MW through Power Purchase Agreements), is actively engaged in multiple renewable power projects in India. Currently, TPREL has 4,547 MW of projects in various stages of implementation, with an operational capacity of 4,471 MW, comprising 3,444 MW solar and 1,027 MW wind.

Central Transmission Utility |
Currently, Central Transmission Utility of India Limited (CTUIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), manages the CTU. The CTU officially notified it in March 2021. The Central Transmission Utility (CTU) in India plays a vital role in ensuring smooth electricity flow across the country.
The CTU is responsible for managing the Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) and transmission projects in India, the high-voltage network that transmits electricity between states. This ensures efficient power delivery from generating stations to load centers across the country. |
Rajasthan has emerged as a leader in solar energy in India. The state boasts extensive stretches of arid land receiving abundant sunlight, making it an ideal location for large-scale solar power plants. To capitalize on this potential, the Rajasthan government established the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Policy 2023. The policy plays a pivotal role in boosting the Indian solar market. Here are some key aspects of the policy:
The policy sets ambitious targets of achieving 65 GW of solar capacity and 15 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity by 2030.
The policy promotes net metering, allowing residents to install rooftop solar panels and sell excess electricity back to the grid.
The policy offers financial incentives to developers, including subsidies, tax breaks, and concessional transmission charges.
The policy mandates that a certain percentage of the state's electricity needs must be met from renewable sources.
