Torrent Green Energy Commissions 322MWp Solar Projects in Maharashtra
Torrent Green Energy, a subsidiary of Torrent Power (TORNTPOWER.NS), has commissioned 322MW-peak solar projects across Nashik district in Maharashtra. The decentralised ground-mounted installations are spread over 50 locations and form part of the Mukhyamantri Saur Krashi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY) 2.0 initiative, aimed at agricultural feeder-level solarisation under India's PM Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan scheme. The electricity generated will be supplied to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) over a 25-year power purchase agreement. The project is designed to provide daytime energy directly to rural agricultural demand centres, enhancing grid efficiency and reducing distribution losses. Torrent Power's director Jigish Mehta highlighted the collaborative effort behind this milestone. Torrent Power has an operational generation capacity of 6.66GWp across gas-based, renewable, and coal sources, with additional projects under construction expected to bring total capacity up to approximately 12.82GWp plus 3GW pumped storage.
