NTPC Green Energy Limited has successfully declared the commercial operation of its wind power generation facility in Gujarat. The renewable energy developer has confirmed that 9.45 MW of commercial capacity has been added at its 150 MW Dayapar Wind project located in the Kutch region of Gujarat. This initiative represents another significant milestone in the project’s operations, reflecting the company’s ongoing efforts to gradually bring its wind energy facilities to completion, while simultaneously enabling the project to generate revenue.
Commercial capacity and operationalization
Commercial operations of this 9.45 MW capacity were effective. The 150 MW Dayapar Wind Project, Kutch, has now declared a total of 141.75 MW of commercial capacity after the successful commissioning of this part. The progressive addition of generation capacity is a testament to the company’s capability in introducing renewable infrastructure in a phased manner.
The generation capacity of NTPC Green Energy Limited and the NTPC group has been increased after the operationalization of Kutch 9.45 MW. The nationalised NTPC Green Energy Limited is now commencing its operations with a standalone commercial capacity of 3,637.20 MW.
The development builds on the company’s existing green energy business in India, further solidifying its footprint in the renewable energy segment. Total commercial capacity of the entire NTPC Group now stands at 80,664.20 MW on a consolidated basis with this 9.45 MW wind addition.
The ongoing expansion of commercial capacity across the subsidiary platforms is consistent with the group’s current broader strategic direction to systematically expand power generation assets and continue to increase the percentage of non-fossil power resources connected to the national power grid.
