NVVN Calls for Bids for Solar Projects in Andaman & Nicobar Islands


NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NVVN) has launched a bidding process to procure solar projects in the scenic Andaman & Nicobar Islands, aiming to bolster the region's energy infrastructure with renewable energy solutions. The initiative underscores NVVN's commitment to integrating sustainable energy sources and reducing dependency on conventional fuels in remote island territories.

The bidding process invites developers to submit proposals for setting up solar power projects with associated energy storage systems in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. This effort is part of NVVN's strategic efforts to leverage solar energy's potential and enhance energy security while promoting environmental sustainability.

Andaman & Nicobar Islands, known for their biodiversity and ecological richness, face unique challenges in meeting their energy demands due to geographical isolation and limited connectivity to the mainland grid. NVVN's initiative seeks to address these challenges by harnessing solar power to provide reliable and clean energy solutions for residents and businesses in the islands.

The solar projects under consideration aim to reduce reliance on diesel generators and other fossil fuel-based power generation methods, thereby contributing to carbon emissions reduction and environmental conservation. By integrating solar energy with storage solutions, NVVN aims to ensure uninterrupted power supply and enhance resilience against energy disruptions in the island territories.

The bidding process marks a significant step towards advancing renewable energy adoption in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and aligns with the government's vision of promoting clean energy transitions across the country. NVVN anticipates robust participation from developers keen on contributing to India's renewable energy goals and supporting sustainable development in remote and ecologically sensitive regions.
