SJVN Green, a subsidiary of SJVN Limited, has launched the bidding process for solar projects in Punjab, underscoring its commitment to expanding renewable energy infrastructure in the state. The initiative invites developers to participate in competitive bidding to secure contracts for setting up solar power projects.

The bidding process by SJVN Green focuses on developing solar projects under the Open category, aiming to enhance Punjab's renewable energy capacity and contribute to India's clean energy goals. The projects are expected to facilitate sustainable development by reducing carbon emissions and promoting energy security.

SJVN Green, known for its expertise in renewable energy projects, aims to leverage competitive tariffs and advanced technology to optimise energy generation from solar resources. The initiative aligns with Punjab's renewable energy policy objectives and supports the state's efforts to diversify its energy mix.
