30 Jul 2024 CW Team

CESC Limited, a major power utility in India, has issued a tender for the procurement of 150 MW of solar power. This move is part of the company?s strategic effort to diversify its energy portfolio and increase its renewable energy capacity. The tender aims to facilitate the acquisition of solar energy through competitive bidding, reflecting the growing emphasis on sustainable and green energy solutions in the Indian power sector.

The tender process is open to developers and suppliers who can meet the specified technical and financial criteria. CESC is looking to sign power purchase agreements (PPAs) with successful bidders to ensure a steady supply of solar energy for its operations. This initiative aligns with the broader national goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in the electricity grid and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

By procuring solar power, CESC aims to enhance its contribution to environmental sustainability and support the government's commitment to clean energy. The project also underscores the growing trend among Indian utilities to integrate more renewable sources into their energy mix, driven by favorable policies and incentives.

The successful implementation of this tender will not only boost CESC?s renewable energy portfolio but also help in achieving long-term energy security and stability. The move is expected to attract interest from a range of solar developers and contribute to the overall growth of the renewable energy sector in India.
