Tata Power Dholera Solar PV Station is a photovoltaic power station located within the Dholera Solar Park. It is owned and operated by Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power.[1]

History

[edit]

The 300 MW Phase 1 of the plant went online in April 2022.[2] At that time, it was the largest single-axis solar tracker system.[3]

During construction, unpredictable weather, including heavy rains, flooded the 33 KV cable trench. Despite this, the EPC team used floaters to install high-tension cables and elevated pre-cast ballasts to position power cables 500 mm above ground, bypassing the conventional underground approach.[4]

Currently, the plant is providing electricity to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam under a 25-year power purchase agreement.[5][6]
