NTPC-SAIL Power Company Private (NSPCL), a joint venture between Indian state-owned utility NTPC and Steel Authority of India, is tendering for the development of a 50MW solar PV project near to the Salem Steel Plant (SSP) in Salem District in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Bidders can use PV cells and modules from either domestic or foreign sources.
The tender is for the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, packing and forwarding, transportation, unloading, storage, installation and commissioning of the 50MW grid-connected solar plant.This includes O&M for a five year period.
The deadline for receipt of bids comprising both techno-commercial bid and price bid is 3 June this year.
As of 1 April, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulation Commission (TNERC) dropped its high feed-in-tariff (FiT) for solar PV projects from INR7.01 (US$0.105) per unit to INR5.10 (US$0.077) per unit (down 27%).
The move brings the state more in line with other Indian states, which tend to have FiTs in the range of five or six rupees per unit.
