Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has commenced work on an 800 MW renewable energy project in Andhra Pradesh, with a groundbreaking ceremony held to mark the start of construction. The estimated investment for the development is ₹5,750 crore, and the project is being implemented under the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy. The project comprises 400 MW of wind power capacity at Kanekal in Anantapur district and 400 MW of solar power capacity at Pattikonda in Kurnool district. TPREL will develop the wind component, with Suzlon executing the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) work for the wind portion. Of the total capacity, 200 MW is being developed as a firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) project for NTPC, which will include a battery energy storage system of 25 MW/50 MWh capacity, while the remaining 200 MW of solar capacity remains available for future allocation. The project has secured 800 MW of interstate transmission system connectivity through the Anantapur-II and Kurnool-IV Central Transmission Utility substations, ensuring efficient power evacuation into the national grid. The development will require approximately 3,460 acres of land, comprising 2,700 acres for the solar component and 760 acres for the wind component, and is expected to generate close to 4,000 direct and indirect jobs during construction and operations. As a hybrid renewable project spanning wind, solar, and battery storage, execution is likely to involve wind turbine generators, solar PV modules, mounting structures, inverters, transformers, battery energy storage units, and associated transmission and grid-interconnection infrastructure. Tata Power, one of India's largest integrated power companies, has been expanding its renewable energy portfolio significantly through TPREL as part of the broader push towards clean energy capacity addition in the country.
