PM Surya Ghar Yojana: Tata Power, OREDA ink MoU to boost adoption in Odisha

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) and Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (OREDA Limited) to accelerate rooftop solar adoption among residential customers in the state.

The partnership aims to expand Odisha’s renewable energy footprint by implementing the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana (PMSGY).

Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, manages power distribution in Odisha through its four DISCOMs in partnership with the State Government. The scheme will be implemented through the DISCOMs which will play a pivotal role in bringing solar energy to households.

TPREL, which will be listed as one of its preferred solar partners by OREDA, will play a pivotal role in this adoption by ensuring reliable and hassle-free solar solutions with lifetime care.

The company along with OREDA and its financial/banking partners will lead targeted awareness drives at high-footfall locations such as airports, malls and railway stations. To strengthen community engagement, the company will also develop educational materials on renewable energy benefits, conduct sessions for local vendors, and foster local technical expertise by training rooftop installation and maintenance staff, the company said in a statement.

Saidutta Biplab Keshari Pradhan, Chief Executive Officer, of OREDA Limited said, “Odisha is blessed with vast solar energy potential that must be harnessed effectively to meet the state’s growing energy demands sustainably. Our partnership with Tata Power is a significant step in the same direction. With Tata Power’s expertise and OREDA’s resources, we will accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, empowering consumers and contributing meaningfully to the state’s energy goals.”

Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power, said, “This collaboration with OREDA underscores Tata Power's enduring commitment to the state and its people. We are proud to support the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and are aligned with the state government’s vision of mainstreaming solar power.”
