The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), technical partner for the project, has also helped mobilize finance. The plant will help meet electric vehicle charging and other energy requirements on the highway.

The selected bidders shall set up wind-solar hybrid power projects to supply the generated power under a 25-year PPA. Bidding closes on June 8.

Solar power generators have until June 4 to bid for supplying the power from their proposed or existing PV projects under a 25-year PPA. 

The solar project, spread over a 499.27 hectare area, is scheduled to be commissioned within 15 months from the power purchase agreement (PPA) date.

Developers have until May 17 to bid for setting up the grid-connected, ground-mount solar capacity that shall come up across 29 districts in the State. The ceiling tariff is fixed at INR 3.05/kWh. 

The 110/33/22 kV, 125 MVA power transformer is installed at the BKC receiving station in collaboration with Hitachi ABB Power Grids and Cargill.

Magenta Power has installed street lamp integrated EV chargers at HPCL fuel stations in Delhi and Mumbai. The company aims to deploy 1000 units of these charging solutions across the nation this year.

Solar module manufacturers, grid-tied inverter manufacturers and PV system integrators with requisite EPC experience can bid for the grid-interactive PV capacity. The plants—to be set up in sizes ranging from 2 MW to 10 MW—shall come up in various districts of the state. Bidding closes on March 17.

The solar project—developed in the Amravati District of Maharashtra—uses 60,660 numbers of 330Wp polycrystalline PV modules and is expected to generate more than 78,600 MWh of power annually. 

India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is funding the research to develop high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, including those with passivated emitter and rear contact structure, and perovskites.
