NTPC's Green Energy Footprint Expands by 200+ MW

NTPC has further strengthened its renewable energy footprint by commissioning 192 MW of solar and 9.9 MW of wind capacity. This milestone includes 167 MW from the Nokh Solar Project in Rajasthan and 25 MW in Bhuj, Gujarat, while the wind capacity was also added in Bhuj through NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary.

With these additions, NTPC’s total installed capacity now stands at 60,705 MW on a standalone basis and 83,888 MW on a group level.

The newly commissioned wind and solar assets are owned by Ayana Renewable Power Four, a subsidiary of Ayana Renewable Power, which operates under ONGC NTPC Green—a joint venture involving NGEL.

NGEL’s own installed capacity has now reached 7,407.47 MW. In a related development, NGEL recently commissioned 100 MW of a 500 MW solar project developed by IRCON Renewable Power at Pavagada Solar Park, Karnataka. This project forms part of IRCON International’s 5 GW grid-connected solar initiative, awarded through a competitive auction in 2021.
