Renew Solar Power, EG Energy Development (Enfinity Global), Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon, Serentica Renewables India, and Tata Power Renewable Energy have been awarded contracts in SJVN Limited’s auction to develop 1,200 MW of inter-state transmission system (ISTS)-connected firm and dispatchable renewable energy projects. The total capacity awarded in the auction was 448 MW. The tender, issued in July 2024, also included a greenshoe option for an additional 1,200 MW, with a minimum bid requirement of 50 MW and a maximum of 600 MW.
ReNew Solar Power won 100 MW at a tariff of Rs 4.82 per kWh, EG Energy Development (Enfinity Global) won 60 MW at a tariff of Rs 4.86 per kWh, Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon won 100 MW at a tariff of Rs 4.86 per kWh, Serentica Renewables India won 100 MW at a tariff of Rs 4.89 per kWh, and Tata Power Renewable Energy won 88 NW at a tariff of Rs Rs 4.91 per kWh.
The projects will deploy only commercially established and operational technologies to mitigate technology-related risks and ensure timely commissioning. To integrate the latest advancements, certified wind turbine models from the revised List of Models and Manufacturers will be used. The annual capacity utilisation factor for these projects must not be less than 75 per cent. For solar modules and balance of systems, the projects will adhere to the government’s technical guidelines for grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems applicable at the time of commissioning. The wind power projects will also comply with the relevant regulatory standards.
