In FY16, Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, completed the acquisition of Welspun Renewables Energy Private (WREPL) to become the largest renewable energy company in India.
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 of about 990 MW solar 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.
"Crossing the 4000 MW mark is one of the many key milestones in our endeavor to generate 35-40 percent of Tata Power's total generation capacity from clean energy sources.
This mammoth leap is well in line with our aim to enhance and increase our non-fossil fuel capacity, and maintaining our value of sustainable growth," its CEO and Managing Director Anil Sardana said.
