updates on the telangana government eyeing 2000 mw solar power
Q: Hi, while discussion the latest news, my friend told me that the Telangana government is planning on bidding on 2000 mw solar power for the state. Can someone give me details about the same?
The State government is also looking to add 2,300 MW by end of 2015 and reach a comfortable position by 2016 end. I can foresee some of the power issues that the city is facing to decrease by the end of next year.
Yeah, Chief Minister K.Chandrasekar Rao has also told a meeting of CII leaders in the city recently that the top priority is to overcome the deficit. In my opinion that is a nice approach.
I wanted to tell you that TSSPDCL will be the authorised representative of the discoms for implementation of the grid-connected solar PV projects. The PPA will be for a period of 25 years.
Besides the document, the company, on behalf of all discoms in the State, has also uploaded on its website a draft power purchase agreement (PPA) too. That should help smooth out the entire process.
Did you know that a clean energy, which can be provided by solar power is also perceived as a major source to meet the high consumption by the agricultural sector in the State.
I know that the bidding has been classified into two categories – with a ceiling tariff of Rs.6.45/kWh and Rs.6.32/kWh depending on the capacity and interconnection sub-station. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Well from what i have heard, the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Ltd on Wednesday set in motion the process of purchasing 2,000 MW of solar power through a competitive bidding route.
