A guaranteed performance ratio of 75 per cent is required from the bidders. If the performance ratio or the annual capacity utilisation factor falls short, a penalty of Rs 5/kWh will be imposed for both.

The bidders will also be expected to provide services for a greenshoe capacity at the same allocated tariff. The installation and O&M rates should constitute 30 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, of the total cost.
