Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited bids for the development of 1.2 GW of interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects coupled with energy storage systems (ESS), aimed at delivering 4,800 MWh (1200 MW x 4 hours) of assured peak power daily.
Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited bids to develop 1.2 GW of interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects coupled with energy storage systems (ESS), aimed at supplying 4,800 MWh of assured peak power (1,200 MW for four hours) each day. The projects will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis to deliver dispatchable renewable electricity during periods of peak demand.
SECI will sign 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the successful bidders and subsequently sell the procured power to distribution companies and other buying entities across India.
Under the tender, developers will be responsible for establishing the renewable energy generation facilities, integrated energy storage systems, and the associated transmission infrastructure up to the delivery point. Land acquisition and grid connectivity will be within the scope of the renewable energy developer.
