NTPC has invited bids to set up 1,150 MW of solar power projects in Cuba. The company invited the participation of bidders through a request for qualification to set up 1150 MW Solar PV projects with 150 MW/150 MWhr BESS in the Republic of Cuba.

NTPC, a corporate partner of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), has been chosen as the preferred partner for the implementation of solar PV parks by the government of Cuba.

In January, NTPC invited bids from developers to build a 900 MW solar photovoltaic park in Cuba. The project, which is part of the 2,100-MW solar project implementation target of Cuba, is aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The annual generation is expected to be 2,400 MW-hour.
