Solar Energy Corp. of India Ltd (SECI) has allocated 900 MW out of the tendered 2 GW of wind-solar hybrid power projects, at an average price of INR 3.19 ($0.038)/kWh. NTPC Renewable Energy bid for 300 MW and won the capacity by quoting the lowest (L1) tariff of INR 3.15/kWh. Green Infra Wind Energy secured 450 MW and Juniper Green Energy 150 MW at INR 3.21/kWh each—as their quoted prices stayed within L1 tariff plus 2%.
The successful bidders will develop the projects on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. The projects must connect to the interstate transmission system and can be located anywhere in India.
SECI will sign a 25-year power purchase agreement with the successful bidders. Power procured by SECI from these projects has been provisioned to be sold to the different buying entities of India.
