The Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) has announced an invitation for bids to develop a 9 MW wind-solar hybrid power project. This initiative aims to bolster GIFT City?s renewable energy infrastructure and align with its commitment to sustainability.

The project involves the procurement, installation, and operation of a wind-solar hybrid system, which combines wind and solar power to generate electricity. By integrating both renewable sources, the project is expected to enhance energy reliability and efficiency.

The deadline for bid submissions is approaching, and GIFT City anticipates strong interest from various energy firms and developers. This project not only supports GIFT City?s energy needs but also sets a precedent for other smart cities aiming to integrate renewable energy sources effectively.
