Tata Power Renewable Energy has officially commissioned a 100‑megawatt group‑captive solar power project at Kayathar in Tamil Nadu, marking a significant addition to the region’s renewable capacity.
Tata Power Renewable Energy announced the commissioning of a 100‑megawatt solar power plant at Kayathar, a town in Tamil Nadu. The project is designed as a group‑captive facility, intended to supply clean electricity to a consortium of industrial and commercial users in the region.
The plant, spanning several acres of sun‑rich land, is expected to generate enough power to meet the annual electricity demand of thousands of households, while reducing reliance on fossil‑fuel based generation. Tata Power Renewable Energy highlighted that the addition strengthens its portfolio of renewable assets and aligns with India’s broader targets for clean energy expansion.
Local authorities welcomed the development, noting its potential to boost the state’s renewable energy capacity and create ancillary employment opportunities during operation and maintenance phases. The commissioning ceremony was attended by senior executives of Tata Power and representatives from the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.
With the project now operational, Tata Power Renewable Energy will begin feeding the generated power into the grid, contributing to the state’s goal of achieving 30 GW of solar capacity by 2030.
