The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL) has invited bids to procure 500 MW of power on a long-term basis from 500 MW (Phase IX) of grid-connected intrastate solar power projects.

Bidders must submit a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 300,000 ($3,674) to participate in the process. They must also submit Rs 472,000 ($5,781)/MW as an earnest money deposit.

The successful bidder will have to furnish Rs 1.29 million ($15,800)/MW as a performance bank guarantee. Only commercially established and operational technologies can be used for these projects.

MSEDCL will enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the selected bidder for 25 years from the scheduled commercial operation date. Projects eligible for this tender include projects under construction, projects that are not yet commissioned, and those already commissioned not having any long-term PPA with any agency and selling power on a short-term basis. Such projects should not have already been accepted under other central or state programmes.
