- Sets a new norm in sustainable celebrations with 6,274 consumers adopting Green Power during the festive season
- Tata Power installs 1.25 lakh smart meters in the city to encourage energy efficiency and conscious consumption of electricity; aims to cover all its 7.5 lakh consumers by FY25
A special initiative for Green Power adoption was launched this festive season encouraging consumers to opt for clean and green power to illuminate their homes. The initiative was a resounding success with 6,274 new consumers opting to become green champions.
The Green Power movement led to ~270 MUs of green power consumption which is equivalent to offsetting 200 kilotons of carbon emissions annually. Our 3,576 consumers belonging to the 0-100 unit's category, are leading this energy transition with delight and setting the perfect example for consumers in other categories to adopt Green Power for the future.
At a marginal cost over and above the existing tariff, consumers are empowered to choose the proportion of renewable energy in their consumption, ranging from 25% to 100%. Tata Power is committed to sourcing green power for its consumers from its wind and solar plants across the country.
"Tata Power is a leader in the Distribution domain, with approximately 13 million consumers across the country. We have launched several sustainable initiatives like Green Tariff, ESCO services, Smart Metering, DSM programs et al to encourage consumers to opt for energy efficiency and conservation. Our Mumbai consumers are a shining example of how green practices can be made mainstream. Their collective commitment towards Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) will encourage others to follow suit." Said Mr Sanjay Banga, President, T&D, Tata Power.
With its consumers, Tata Power is co-creating a legacy of sustainability and innovation and transforming the power distribution landscape in the country with its green energy solutions and services.
"We are thankful to our Mumbai consumers for always being our partners in our green initiatives. With 27,000 and growing green consumers and 1.25 lakh smart meters installed, we are well-poised to becoming a leader in green power supply and smart metering in the city. " said Mr. Nilesh Kane, Chief- Mumbai Distribution, Tata Power.
Tata Power aims to install smart meters for all its 7.5 lakh consumers in Mumbai by FY25. The smart meters enable energy efficiency leading to cost savings for its users. The consumers can access real-time data of power consumption and analytics through a web portal and a mobile application. They can also opt for either prepaid or post-paid metering without any additional charges.
It is worth noting that Tata Power was the first utility in Maharashtra to offer a green power tariff to its consumers, as approved by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) in its order dated April 2021. Tata Power Mumbai Distribution is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to its consumers and stakeholders.
