NTPC to achieve 32,000 MW of capacity through renewables

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Ahead of its completion of 45 year, NTPC limited said that it plans to achieve 32,000 MW of capacity through renewables or 25 per cent of its overall power portfolio at the beginning of the next decade.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“From its current power-producing the capacity of 62 GW, NTPC plans to become a 130 GW company by the year 2032. In line with the global trend towards renewables, which is a cleaner source of energy, NTPC plans to achieve 32,000 MW of capacity through renewables or 25% of its overall power portfolio at the beginning of the next decade. Currently, NTPC has 2,404 MW of RE projects under implementation, out of which 237 MW comes from floating solar projects located in reservoirs at NTPC’s existing stations. In fact, Ramagundam 100 MW Floating Solar, being set up under non-PPA mode, is the largest in the country,” an official press release issued by the NTPC said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Calling its shift towards renewables as the part of NTPC’s commitment towards sustainable power generation and safeguarding the environment, the company said “they are making huge investments towards deployment of FGD equipment, whereby more than 60 GW capacity has been tendered for FGD for its various coal-based power plants, in order to cut down harmful emissions.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“NTPC power plants have also set benchmarks in water consumption, going beyond compliances, by implementing the zero liquid discharge system, and rainwater harvesting system. NTPC’s other significant undertaking is its efforts towards 100% utilization of fly ash,” the PSU under Ministry of Power said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Country’s largest power producer will celebrate 45 years of completion tomorrow.</p>.
