Bhubaneswar: Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (OREDA) to accelerate rooftop solar adoption among residential customers.
The MoU was signed by Saidutta Biplab Keshari Pradhan, CEO, OREDA and Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister KV Singh Deo and chief secretary Manoj Ahuja.
This collaboration aims to accelerate solar energy adoption through enhanced public awareness and seamless implementation of accessible and affordable solar energy solutions across Odisha. TPREL, which will be listed as one of its preferred solar partners by OREDA, will play a pivotal role in this adoption by ensuring reliable and hassle-free solar solutions with lifetime care.
The company along with OREDA, the state’s nodal agency for renewable energy, and its financial/banking partners will lead targeted awareness drives at high-footfall locations such as airports, malls and railway stations.
To strengthen community engagement, TPREL, a leading player in India’s renewable energy sector and a subsidiary of Tata Power, will also develop educational materials on renewable energy benefits, conduct sessions for local vendors, and foster local technical expertise by training rooftop installation and maintenance staff.
Public education will remain a central pillar, supported by the creation and dissemination of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials to emphasise the advantages of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
“This collaboration underscores Tata Power’s commitment to the state and its people. We are proud to support the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and are aligned with the state government’s vision of mainstreaming solar power,” said Praveer Sinha.
Chief Executive Officer, OREDA, said, “Odisha is blessed with vast solar energy potential that must be harnessed effectively to meet the state’s growing energy demands sustainably. Our partnership with Tata Power is a significant step in this direction. With Tata Power’s expertise and OREDA’s resources, we will accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, empowering consumers and contributing meaningfully to the state’s energy goals.”
Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, manages power distribution in Odisha through its four DISCOMs in partnership with the state government. The scheme will be implemented through the DISCOMs which will play a pivotal role in bringing solar energy to households.
