Solar Energy Corp invites bid for 2.5 GW nation wide wind power project

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has come up with a new tender for 2.5 GW of ISTS-connected wind power projects to be developed across the country.

The bid-submission deadline is August 7, 2018.

The projects will be developed on build own operate (BOO) basis. The successful bidders will enter into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with SECI for a period of 25 years. A single bidder can bid for a minimum of 50 MW and maximum of 300 MW capacity.

The scope of work includes the setting up of the wind power projects as well as the transmission network up to the delivery point. Wind power projects are required to be designed for inter-connection with transmission network of central transmission utility (CTU) at voltage level of 220 kV or above.

All approvals, permits, and clearances required for the development and connectivity – including those required by state governments – have been made the responsibility of the project developer. The maintenance of the transmission system up to the interconnection point will also be the responsibility of the developer. This is a global tender but Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are not eligible for participation.
