Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company has installed a rain water harvesting system at its Mithapur plant that will conserve water for reuse. The system has already conserved 60KL of water, which is being reused for cleaning 107,712 solar PV modules and solar module panels at the 25MW solar power plant, spread over 105 acres. Tata Power’s Mithapur project is one of the largest of its kind in the country and has been developed through its 100 percent subsidiary, Tata Power Renewable Energy. The Mithapur solar power plant uses the modular, proven, and widely deployed crystalline silicon photo-voltaic technology to maximise power generation. The project helps in reducing an annual average of 37,696 tons of carbon dioxide, by producing 39,597 MWh per year (average) equivalent amount of clean energy.
In order to maintain efficiency of the solar panels, upto 100KL of water is required for maintenance, in 12 cycles across the year. As the Mithapur region and Jamnagar receive very low rainfall, the objective of installing this system is to help in water conservation and sustainable use of available portable water. This will also help in savings in purchase of desalinated water which can further be used for human and community use. The initiative is in continuation to Tata power’s endeavour to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. The company is also developing a 28.8MW solar plant near Satara in Maharashtra.
Tata Power is India's largest integrated power company with a significant international presence. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 8521 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
