TPREL, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Tata Power, has completed acquisition of 100 per cent shareholding in WREPL and its subsidiaries

WREPL has one of the largest operating solar portfolios in India spread across ten states. It has about 1,141 MW of Renewable Power Projects comprising about 990 MW solar power projects and about 150 MW of wind power projects.

Out of 1,141 MW renewable portfolio, over 1,000 MW of capacity is operational and balance capacity is under advanced stages of implementation.

Tata Power said that Chetan Tolia has been appointed CEO & Executive Director of WREPL. Tolia was Chief Human Resources Officer of Tata Power prior to this appointment.

TPREL currently operates 312 MW of renewable power capacity and 500 MW of renewable assets are being carved out of Tata Power into TPREL through a court process. In addition, about 400 MW of solar and wind power projects are under implementation.

Thus TPREL, with all these assets, will have renewable assets portfolio of about 2,300 MW, making it the largest renewable power company in India.

Commenting on this, Tata Power CEO & Managing Director Anil Sardana opined that this acquisition will enable the company to deliver significant value for all stakeholders. The acquisition is also a significant step towards attaining the company’s objective of having non-fossil fuel based capacity up to 30-40 per cent of its total generating capacity.

The company is also in the process of implementing nearly 400 MW of renewable power projects at various locations.

In order to aggregate its clean and renewable energy portfolio, Tata Power has initiated the process of carving out its 500MW clean energy assets from its books into TPREL.
