India invites bids for 1.2GW solar and wind hybrid power generation project

    The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has launched a bidding process and will develop a 1.2 GW wind-solar hybrid power generation Electric Solar Set project in accordance with the build-own-operate model.

    The selected projects will sell electricity to SECI under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).

    SECI stipulates in the bidding documents: "Projects under construction, projects that have not yet been commissioned, and projects that have been commissioned but have not signed a long-term power purchase agreement with any agency and sell electricity on a short-term or commercial factory basis will also be considered, as long as these The project has not been accepted under any other central or state plan and has no obligations to existing buyers."

    The rated project installed capacity of any one of these energy sources should account for at least 33% of the contractual capacity. Developers need to connect to the transmission grid at their own expense, and the minimum voltage level is 220 kV.

    The photovoltaic generator set of a project can be subdivided into several'modules', and these modules can be installed in multiple locations if necessary. The minimum voltage level of a single module is 33 kV.

    The scale of the project is not less than 50MW.
