Supposedly, the JV has already signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with possible buyers for the distribution of power for 10MWs of the project and is in the midst of negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs) with them. Rahindernath explained that the PPAs will more than likely be for 25MW and so the initial phase for the solar projects will be for the same capacity.
Rahindernath has reportedly confirmed that Southern Solar will sell the electricity at Rs.9 (US$0.17) and above per unit. Benefits that the JV would get from trading in the renewable energy certificates are to be shared with the electricity buyers.
