Tata Power’s generation capacity has increased by nearly 9 per cent in Q1 FY17 as compared to Q1 FY16. The company, together with all its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities, has an installed generation capacity of 9432 MW (as of August, 2016) as compared to 8669 MW in FY16 mainly due to commissioning of 44 MW lahori wind farm project in Madhya Pradesh and Cennergi (Pty) achieving commercial operations of both its 134 MW Amakhala Emoyeni and 95 MW Tsitsikamma Wind Farms.
The company generates power from various fuel sources such as thermal (coal, gas and oil), hydroelectric power, renewable energy (wind and solar) and waste heat recovery, thereby, reinforcing its position as the largest integrated power company in India. It has a significant presence in the clean energy space with a gross installed capacity of 1996 MW.
Commenting on this development, Anil Sardana, CEO and managing director, Tata Power, said, "Tata Power has and will continue to be a part of India’s growth story. We have, in this quarter, spread our footprint across the country, also commissioned plants in international geographies with a special focus on the renewables. We are confident that in the next few years we will have greater contribution towards the Government and consumers’ vision of ‘Power for All’.”
With the support of leading technological innovations, excellence in project execution, world class safety processes, customer care, and green initiatives, the Company has succeeded in establishing a strong foothold across the country and overseas. Tata Power continues to be on the lookout for feasible organic and inorganic projects, both greenfield and brownfield, in India and abroad.
