Tata Power Solar Commissions Plant in Andhra Pradesh

Bangalore: Tata Power Solar on Wednesday said it has successfully commissioned a 3 MW solar power plant for Andhra Sugars Limited.

Built as part of the renewable purchase obligation (RPO) and for their captive consumption, the plant is based at the Andhra Sugars Limited, Chemicals & Fertilizers Division, Kovvur, Andhra Pradesh, the company said in a press release.

Tata Power Solar said that Andhra Sugars Limited opted for solar energy to fulfill its renewable obligation. However, instead of 0.5 per cent of total energy as per the obligation, they proactively opted for incorporating a significant higher percentage.

The plant, built as part of the first phase, contributes to more than 15 per cent of their Kovvur plant's power requirements, it added.
