The new guidelines will apply to discoms procuring solar power from decentralised solar power projects of capacity more than 2 MW and connected to the rural distribution substations of 33/11 kV 66/11 kV and 110/11 kV. The guidelines state that bidders should submit a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 10,000 per MW. Also, the net worth of bidders should not be less than 20 per cent of the estimated cost of the project.
