Tata Power Renewable Microgrid (TPRMG) a TATA Power subsidiary company wholly owned by TATA has inaugurated his first biogas plant in Kamalpura (Basaitha) village, Muzaffarpur, Bihar for Power Generation of capacity 5kW. The facility utilizes cow manure procured from nearby villages, which is then processed through a bio-digester to generate methane. The methane is then used to drive a specially-designed 5 kW generator to generate electricity, which is fed to the adjoining 30 kW microgrid generating station. Residues are processed to create organic manure for farmers.
TPRMG has constructed the plant in association with Grassroots Energy and commenced operations on National Energy Conservation Day on 14 December 2020.
