Power procured by SECI from the project will be sold to the State Discom Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Limited (MSEDCL).
Power purchase agreements (PPAs) will be signed for a period of 25 years at a maximum tariff of INR2.93/kWh. Bidders must only bid for a single tariff across all the projects they bid for.
SECI has recently been concentrating on tenders for interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected projects outside solar parks, but the government's solar park programme is still ongoing with a target of 40GW by 2021-22.
SECI also recently issued a tender for the development of 750MW of grid-connected solar projects in Rajasthan.
