Tata Power Renewable Energy is a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company.

The project, secured under NHPC?s BESS Tranche-I tender through a competitive bidding route for Kerala State Electricity Board Limited being the end user of the battery energy storage system (BESS) asset, involves setting up a 30 MW / 120 MWh battery storage system at the 220 kV substation in Area code, Kerala.
