Tata Power’s Microgrid Arm partners with National Dairy Development Board to Solarize Milk Value Chain


Tata Power’s Microgrid Arm partners with National Dairy Development Board to Solarize Milk Value Chain

 

National, 25th July 2024: TP Renewable Microgrid (TPRMG), India’s leading solar microgrid company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), renowned for its transformative impact on India's rural economy through its cooperative dairy model. This collaboration aims to facilitate various initiatives to advance renewable energy technologies within the dairy value chain.

 

The MoU was signed by Dr. Meenesh Shah, Chairman & Managing Director of NDDB, and Mr. Manoj Gupta, CEO, TP Renewable Microgrid, in the esteemed presence of Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power, Ms. Varsha Joshi, Additional Secretary, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Govt. of India, Executive Directors - NDDB, MD - Mother Dairy, MD - NDDB Dairy Services and other eminent dignitaries. 

 

Central to this collaboration are several key initiatives designed to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency within the milk value chain. This includes the solarization of Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs), Bulk Milk Coolers (BMCs), and Milk Chilling Centers, facilitated by cutting-edge solar microgrid technology.

 

Dr. Meenesh Shah, Chairman & MD, NDDB, remarked, "This collaboration is a significant step towards achieving our vision of a sustainable and efficient milk value chain. By integrating renewable energy solutions, we aim to boost the operational efficiency across dairy value chain and promote the use of green fuels. Our partnership with TPRMG will help us in realizing our goal of creating a greener and more sustainable dairy sector."

 

A key highlight of this partnership is the ambitious plan to transform Mujkuva village in Anand district, Gujarat, into a Carbon Neutral Village through the collaborative efforts of NDDB and TP Renewable Microgrid. This endeavor targets to promote sustainability in rural economies and foster a greener future for the dairy industry.

 

Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO& MD, Tata Power, said, " Our partnership with National Dairy Development Board will revolutionize the dairy sector by integrating advanced renewable energy technologies, significantly reducing carbon emissions and enhancing operational efficiency. This strategic alliance underscores our commitment to pioneering eco-friendly energy solutions that drive sustainable development and set new industry benchmarks.”

  

Additionally, the partnership prioritizes the integration of dung-based biogas power generators into these microgrids, advancing sustainable energy practices within the dairy sector. Energy-efficient chullahs (stoves), solar dryers, and cold storage solutions will also be applied to enhance operational efficiencies in dairy and agricultural sectors. Furthermore, comprehensive energy audits will be conducted on existing electric and thermal systems to identify opportunities for improvement and implement efficient, sustainable solutions.

 

This strategic partnership between TPRMG and NDDB is poised to establish a benchmark in the dairy industry by integrating green energy solutions and promoting sustainability across the entire milk value chain. The collaboration invigorates the adoption of advanced technologies, driving significant environmental benefits, reducing energy costs, and encouraging sustainable practices, thus ccontributing to India's renewable energy adoption and rural development.
