Bridge and Roof Secures SJVN Contract for 100 MW Solar Project

Bridge and Roof Company, a government enterprise under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, has secured the engineering, procurement, and construction contract from SJVN Green Energy to establish a 100 MW solar power project in Rajasthan’s Didwana-Kuchaman district.

The project is valued at approximately Rs 3.5 billion. The tender was issued in April 2024.

The scope of work includes land development, design and engineering, procurement of equipment and materials, testing at the manufacturer’s facility, packing, transportation, supply, unloading, on-site storage, installation, erection, testing, commissioning, performance demonstration, and operational acceptance on a turnkey basis. It also involves insurance coverage at all stages, civil and electrical work, related services, and obtaining necessary permits and licenses.

The project requires the use of domestically manufactured solar modules listed under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

SJVN has entered into a power purchase agreement with Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam for the electricity generated from the project. The selection process for the contract considered bidders with experience in developing or executing EPC projects for grid-connected solar plants of at least 30 MW, including one project of 10 MW that had been operational for a minimum of three months. Additionally, bidders were required to have executed industrial projects worth Rs 1.83 billion and a 33 kV substation, both operational for at least six months.

In May 2023, SJVN Green Energy secured 100 MW in Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam’s auction to supply 1 GW of power from solar projects connected to the state transmission utility.

Previously, Bridge and Roof Company invited bids to develop a 2.3 MW grid-connected rooftop solar project at the Khidirpore Dock II in Kolkata, West Bengal.

In December 2024, SJVN Green Energy issued bids for the development of 1,352 MW solar projects across 102 sites in Maharashtra under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana 2.0.
