Developers now have until September 23 to lodge bids for the 110 MW procurement round and can toss their hat into the ring for a new tender in the district of Jamnagar which closes on October 5.

Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) has invited bids to set up an aggregate 110 MW of grid-connected solar power plants across three substations of the Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO). Bidding closes on September 16.

Some 1 GW of utility scale project capacity was added to the end of June.

The Gujarat-based solar developer will use Rs 76 crore to finance a new 20 MW solar project at Bharuch and Rs 31.50 crore to refinance an existing 15 MW plant.

The scope of work for the successful bidder includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the supplied units at the project site. Bidding closes on August 17.

An aggregate 104 quantities of 16-string monitoring boxes are required for the 20 MW NTPC solar project at Gandhar in the state of Gujarat. Bidding closes on August 4.

The solar lab—based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat—uses Xenon-based single-long-pulse flasher and steady-state simulator from Netherlands-based Eternalsun Spire to test all current and future PV modules.

The state’s Solar Power Policy 2015 was due to expire since April 1, 2020. With a 9-month extension, solar power plants installed and commissioned till December end become eligible for the benefits and incentives declared under this policy.

The solar plant—to be set up under a ‘build-own-operate’ basis—is part of the Dholera Solar Park capacity tendered by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd under ninth phase. July 16 is the last date to lodge the interest.

The integrated power producer’s renewable capacity will now swell to 3,457 MW. Of this, 2,637 MW (932 MW wind and 1705 MW solar) is operational and 820 MW solar (including the latest 120 MW won from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited) under implementation.
