NTPC REL Floats EPC Tenders For 1.1 GW Of Solar Projects

NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) has launched a series of tenders inviting EPC bids for a combined grid-connected solar PV capacity of 1.1 GW across the state of Rajasthan. 

The largest of these, with a capacity of 550 MW, will be located near Shimboo Ka Burj in the Bikaner district. Another project with 240 MW capacity will be located near Devikot village in Jaisalmer. The agency is also seeking bidders for 300 MW sited near Nokhra. 

According to the tender documents, interested bidders will be expected to provide an EPC package covering the entire gamut of services, right from design and engineering to project commissioning. 

The broad scope of work also involves procuring solar PV modules, ensuring the availability of a module-cleaning system, and erecting a tracker-based module mounting structure (MMS). Power evacuation up to the 33 kV main pooling switchgear at the owner’s pooling substation is also part of the job. 

Winners will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance of the grid-connected solar PV projects for a period of 3 years from the date of commissioning of full project capacity. NTPC REL intends to finance the subject package through its own resources/borrowings.
