Tata Power has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Noida International Airport (NIA) to develop a smart energy infrastructure. This partnership aims to make NIA one of India's most eco-friendly airports by integrating renewable energy into its operations.
Tata Power Trading Company Ltd. (TPTCL) will be at the forefront of this partnership, managing the complete renewable energy portfolio interface, and ensuring NIA’s clean energy needs are met through a comprehensive Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Under this arrangement, TPTCL will supply 10.8 MW of wind power for NIA, with secured assets from Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. (TPREL).
TPREL will also develop, operate, and maintain a 13 MW onsite solar power capacity to contribute to the airport’s overall energy needs. Together, TPREL’s wind and solar installations will supply the airport’s sustainable power needs, underscoring Tata Power’s dedication to building sustainable airport infrastructure.
The total investment is Rs 550 crore (approximately $66 million).
The agreement spans 25 years, covering the development, operation, and maintenance of the energy infrastructure.
The collaboration aims to support the development of Net Zero Airports, catering to millions of passengers while accelerating India's path towards a greener future.
This partnership showcases Tata Power's commitment to sustainable energy solutions and NIA's vision for environmentally conscious airport operations.
The first phase of NIA, featuring one runway and one terminal, will have the capacity to handle traffic of 12 million passengers annually. Upon completion of all four development phases, the airport will be able to cater to 70 million passengers per year.
NIA is expected to become India's largest airport and one of the largest in the world upon completion. It will also serve as a significant connection point in the Asia Pacific region.
Apart from the recent partnership with Noida International Airport, Tata Power has been involved in several other airport projects to provide sustainable energy solutions.
