Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has partnered with Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA) Limited to promote rooftop solar systems among residential customers in Odisha. The partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the CEOs of both companies, with the presence of the Deputy Chief Minister and Chief Secretary of Odisha. The aim of the partnership is to implement the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana (PMSGY), a centrally-sponsored scheme, across the state.
Under the partnership, TPREL will provide comprehensive solar solutions with lifetime care, collaborate with OREDA and financial partners to conduct awareness campaigns, develop educational materials on renewable energy benefits, and train rooftop installation and maintenance staff. The program will initially focus on eight cities in Odisha, including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Paradip, Berhampur, Sambalpur, Balasore, and Rourkela.
Odisha offers the highest solar subsidies in India, making solar adoption more accessible to consumers. OREDA’s CEO highlighted the state’s vast solar energy potential and stated that the partnership with Tata Power is a significant step towards harnessing it sustainably. Tata Power currently manages four discoms in Odisha through a public-private partnership model and is committed to transforming the state’s energy landscape while advancing India’s net zero goals.
The partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of rooftop solar systems in Odisha, which has the potential to generate significant amounts of renewable energy. With Tata Power’s expertise and OREDA’s support, the state is expected to become a leader in renewable energy adoption in India. The partnership is a significant step towards achieving the state’s energy goals and reducing its carbon footprint.
