Tata Power installs 36 biogas plants across 8 villages

Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power Company, has successfully installed 36 biogas plants across 8 villages. The company has undertaken the installation of biogas plants under project ‘Annapurna’ in Mundra and Mandvi in association with Tata Power Community Development Trust (TPCDT).
With this initiative, Tata Power aims to promote the use of Household Biogas by creating awareness on the optimal use of cow dung. Being considerably cheaper than conventional energy sources, the daily input in each Bio Gas plant is nearly 40 KG which enables cooking for a family of 5-6 people. The total cost of each plant is Rs 26,200, of which Rs 18,000 was invested by Tata Power with Rs 8200 contributed by the community.
Tata Power is India’s largest integrated power company with a significant international presence. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 8521 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
