Punjab State Power Corporation Issues Tender To Procure One GW Solar

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

Punjab State Power Corporation has issued a tender to procure one gigawatt (GW) of solar power through a competitive bidding process. The tender calls for developers to supply utility scale solar generation capacity to augment the state grid and meet rising demand. The procurement is intended to expand renewable generation and support the transition to a cleaner energy mix.

The procurement notice sets out technical and financial qualification criteria and envisages connection to the existing transmission network to ensure stability of supply. The corporation has emphasised the need for firm delivery schedules and adherence to grid codes while allowing for hybrid or standalone solar projects as per developer proposals. Bidders are expected to propose viable project timelines and demonstrate experience in construction and operation of large scale solar assets.

The move forms part of broader efforts by the state to increase renewable energy penetration and reduce dependence on fossil fuel generation. Officials view the tender as a step to attract investment, support local manufacturing where feasible, and foster competition to secure cost effective power. The procurement is also expected to assist in meeting regional targets for lowering carbon emissions and enhancing energy security.

The tender documentation provides for transparent evaluation and award on merit, with provisions for performance guarantees and penalty clauses to mitigate delivery risks. Market participants will monitor the process for opportunities to deploy capital and scale up capacity in the state, while transmission planners will assess integration requirements. The procurement of one GW of solar capacity is likely to have a tangible impact on the state power mix if awarded and executed as envisaged. Stakeholders will seek clarity on timelines and contractual terms during the bid stage.
