The winners were as follows:
Bidder | Capacity (MW) | Tariff (INR/kWh) |
---|---|---|
Gujarat Industries Power Company (GIPCL) | 50 | 2.75 |
Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) | 200 (bid for 250) | 2.75 |
The tender had gone through multiple delays and its final L1 bids were 10 paise higher than last week's solar auction for the Raghanesda Solar Park, also in Gujarat, which drew lowest bids of between 2.65-2.70 rupees. Both Tata and GIPCL won 100MW each in that auction as well.
