SECI launches 400 MW wind-solar hybrid tender

Share

Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited bids for setting up 400 MW of wind-solar hybrid power projects on a build-own-operate basis in India. The projects can be located anywhere in India and must connect to the inter-state transmission system.

A single developer must submit a single bid offering a minimum contracted capacity of 50 MW and a maximum quantum of 600 MW.

SECI will enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the successful bidders for purchase of wind-solar hybrid power for a period of 25 years. Power procured by SECI from these projects has been provisioned to be sold to the different buying entities of India.

The prospective hybrid power developer will set up ISTS-connected wind-solar hybrid power projects, including the transmission network up to the interconnection/delivery points, to supply wind-solar hybrid power to SECI. Identification of land, installation and ownership of the projects, along with obtaining connectivity and interconnection with the transmission network for supply of power to SECI, will be under the scope of the hybrid power developer.

In a separate tender, SECI, on behalf of Lakshadweep Energy Development Agency, has invited proposals for setting up grid-connected solar PV projects with battery energy storage system (BESS) at Androth, Bitra, Amini and Kadmat Islands of Lakshadweep. The projects are to be set up in RESCO mode.

Lakshadweep Electricity Department will enter into a 25-year PPA with the successful bidders.

The developer’s scope includes all design and engineering, procurement and supply of equipment and materials, installation, testing, commissioning, and synchronization with existing distribution network grid for individual grid-interactive PV projects having cumulative capacity of 1,385 kW (AC) with BESS at four locations.
