auctions and tenders

Indian state-owned firm SECI has awarded 2GW of solar-plus-storage that will connect to the Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) in India.

Unlike the price ceiling for wind, which has not changed compared to 2024, all three auctions involving solar PV have been revised down to take into account the decrease in the forecast levelised cost of electricity, said the Bundesnetzagentur.

Romania's Ministry of Energy’s first Contracts for Difference (CfD) has awarded 11 solar PV projects with a combined capacity of 432MW.

Germany's rooftop solar tender ended up with a record 434MW of capacity bid, while France's was undersubscribed.

In total, 540 projects were awarded capacity in a tender that ended up oversubscribed with more than 1.7GW capacity tendered and 643 bids.

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has issued a tender seeking advisory services for a co-located 1.6GW solar PV/1GW BESS project.

South Korea has launched a tender for fixed-price solar and wind projects, looking for 2.8GW of new renewable power capacity.

As has been the case in many of Germany’s recent solar PV auctions, the innovation tender ended up oversubscribed with 1.8GW of capacity.

India’s state-owned company the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) has issued a tender seeking up to 2.4GW of solar PV capacity across India.

The Saudi Arabian government’s power procurement arm has invited bids for up to 3GW of new solar PV capacity.
