Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited has brought a 198 MW wind energy project online in Karur, Tamil Nadu, delivering renewable power to Tata Steel under a group captive structure.
The project consists of 55 wind turbine generators of 3.6 MW each and is designed to generate 31 million units of clean electricity annually. The renewable supply will help offset approximately 26,350 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, supporting industrial decarbonisation efforts.
TPREL executed the project using a self-EPC framework, independently managing engineering, procurement and construction activities across multiple workstreams. This included civil works, balance of plant infrastructure, transmission lines and electrical systems, reflecting the company’s strong in-house capabilities.
Complex logistical challenges were addressed through careful planning, including the transport of large turbine components and the handling of hard rock excavation using advanced machinery. A high-volume concrete operation involving over 516 cubic metres was completed within 12 hours, showcasing operational coordination.
The project set new execution benchmarks, with wind turbine foundations completed in 126 days and turbine installation achieved in 167 days.
