In a latest public sale performed by REC Energy Growth and Consultancy (RECPDCL) in India, Juniper Inexperienced Power and Avaada Power emerged victorious in securing bids for 100 MW of inter-state transmission system (ISTS)-connected wind energy tasks. The tender, initiated in July, witnessed Juniper clinching 50 MW at a fee of ₹3.58/kWh, whereas Avaada secured the remaining 50 MW at ₹3.59/kWh.
These wind energy tasks fall beneath the Ministry of Energy’s initiative for flexibility within the technology and scheduling of thermal/hydropower stations. Builders, Juniper and Avaada, will undertake a build-own-operate mannequin and shoulder the duty of creating a devoted transmission community to the interconnection level at their very own expense. The prescribed minimal voltage for the ISTS interconnection stands at 220 kV.
Commissioning is remitted inside 18 months of signing the facility buy settlement. Notably, if the thermal generator fails to switch thermal energy, the pliability program permits for the wind energy to be bought in exchanges by DVC.
To make sure using established applied sciences and decrease dangers, solely commercially confirmed and operational applied sciences are permitted for these tasks. Wind turbine fashions should align with the Ministry of New and Renewable Power’s Revised Checklist of Fashions and Producers. The tasks should keep a declared capability utilization issue of not lower than 22%, with the developer dedicated to sustaining technology ranges to realize an annual CUF between 80% and 120% through the energy buy settlement time period.
It’s value noting that the tender excludes consideration for already commissioned tasks, whereas tasks beneath building or but to be commissioned will probably be evaluated except accepted beneath different central or state applications.
