NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVN) has commenced the bidding process for the development of 12.82 megawatts (MW) of solar power projects across various states in India. This move underscores NVVN's commitment to expanding renewable energy infrastructure and meeting India's growing electricity demands through sustainable means.

The bidding invitation invites developers to participate in the competitive process to secure contracts for setting up solar projects under the Open category. These projects are expected to contribute significantly to India's renewable energy targets, promoting clean energy adoption and reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

NVVN, a subsidiary of NTPC Ltd, plays a crucial role in facilitating the procurement and sale of power from renewable energy sources. By initiating this bidding process, NVVN aims to attract investments in solar energy projects, leveraging competitive tariffs and advancing technology to enhance energy efficiency.

The 12.82 MW solar projects will be developed on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis, allowing private developers to build and operate the projects while selling the generated electricity to NVVN. This model encourages private sector participation in the renewable energy sector, fostering innovation and driving down costs.

As India accelerates its transition towards cleaner energy sources, initiatives like NVVN's bidding process are pivotal in achieving the nation's renewable energy goals. The projects are expected to stimulate economic growth, create job opportunities, and contribute to sustainable development in the regions where they are implemented.
