The transmission will be the responsibility of the developer.
SECI will sign 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the successful developers, with an upper ceiling tariff at INR2.68/kWh (US$0.039).
Winning projects should be designed for interconnection with the nearest substation at a voltage level of 33kV or above.
A 750MW solar PV auction in Rajasthan earlier this month drew in winning bids of between INR2.48-2.49/kWh (US$0.035).
