The project was won in the Uttarakhand Renewable Energy Development Agency’s (UREDA) auction. The Uttarakhand tender was for the development of 170MW of PV overall. The range of winning bids in was INR5.57-5.99/kWh, with 22 individual projects being awarded in the bid.
Uttarakhand already has abundant hydro power resources and expensive land, which makes solar development tricky.
