Bihar State Power Generation Company Floats Tender For 20 MW Canal-Bank Solar PV Project Under RESCO Model

The Bihar State Power Generation Company (BSPGCL) has issued a 20 MW Solar PV tender for the procurement of solar power from a grid-connected canal-bank solar PV project with a cumulative capacity of 20 MW (AC). This project is to be constructed under the RESCO (Renewable Energy Service Company) model on government land alongside a canal through tariff-based competitive bidding. The project will span five different locations in Patna, Bihar.

The total capacity of the solar power project is 20 MW, and the solar panels will be installed along the canal banks. The RESCO model allows private companies to build and operate the project, while the government purchases the power generated under a long-term agreement.

The bid submission deadline for this project is 12^th November 2024. Interested bidders can submit their applications for the tender before this date. The document provides complete details about the project, including the requirements and qualifications for bidders. Once the project is awarded, the successful bidder will be responsible for the construction and operation of the solar PV system.

This project aims to harness solar energy while utilizing canal-side land efficiently, contributing to Bihar’s growing renewable energy capacity. The initiative is part of the state’s broader efforts to boost clean energy production.
