It is committed to contributing its long-term technical and commercial expertise in India.

By 2030, RWE plans to triple its worldwide offshore wind capacity from 2.4 GW to 8 GW (capacity represents RWE share only).

Tata Power has a heritage of more than 100 years and via Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, it would contribute its deep understanding of the regional electricity market and regulation.

The firm has a strong portfolio in the renewables landscape of India, including a total capacity of 4,909 MW, out of which around 1,854 MW is under execution.
