Projects under construction and not having any PPA with existing buyers shall also be eligible to participate in the tender.
Solar projects will also be allowed to be set up in the existing wind farm which is already connected to the grid subject to the availability of spare capacity for RE integration at the corresponding GETCO/CTU substation.
The minimum project capacity shall be 25 MW.
“GUVNL may decide to enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with successful bidders for 25 years from the scheduled commercial operation date of the project,” as per the tender document.
