The partnership also intends to transform Mujkuva village in Anand district, Gujarat, into a carbon-neutral village through the combined efforts of NDDB and TPRMG.

The collaboration will also focus on the integration of dung-based biogas power generators into these microgrids, advancing sustainable energy practices within the dairy sector. Energy-efficient stoves, solar dryers, and cold storage solutions will also be applied to enhance operational efficiencies in the dairy and agricultural sectors. Comprehensive energy audits will be conducted on existing electric and thermal systems to identify opportunities for improvement and implement efficient, sustainable solutions.

This collaboration comes just a week after Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NHPC Renewable Energy Limited (NHPC-REL) to implement rooftop solar projects across government buildings in India under the PM Surya Ghar Yojna Scheme. The MoU, signed on July 18, 2024, aims at 100% solarisation of government-owned buildings by December 2025. This recent partnership with NDDB further underscores Tata Power’s commitment to advancing renewable energy technologies across various sectors in India.
