Tata Power Trading Company Invites EOI For Procurement Of 500 MW Renewable Energy From Solar, Wind, And Hydro Projects

Tata Power Trading Company Limited (TPTCL) has issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the procurement of up to 500 MW of renewable energy (RE), including solar, wind, hybrid, and hydropower, along with green attributes. This long-term procurement plan is set to last up to 25 years, reflecting the growing shift towards renewable energy sources in India. With the country’s rapid economic growth and increasing focus on sustainability, there is a strong push for utilities and commercial and industrial (C&I) clients to transition from conventional power sources to renewables, either voluntarily or due to regulatory requirements.

TPTCL aims to offer a stable and competitive generation tariff for renewable energy to its buyers, addressing the growing uncertainty around coal and gas prices. The procurement targets include both physical and virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs), providing flexibility to the end buyers. The company is looking for utilities, individual companies, or groups of companies to express their interest in procuring the power. To participate in the EOI, the applicant must be a company registered in India with a valid CIN, GSTIN, and PAN.

Additionally, the participant must meet a minimum net worth requirement based on the amount of power they wish to procure. For example, the net worth criteria for a 10 MW requirement is INR 10 crore, while for a 500 MW procurement, the minimum net worth requirement rises to INR 500 crore. The applicant must provide documentation certified by a statutory auditor to verify their financial standing.

The scope of this procurement involves off-taking power and green attributes from solar, wind, hybrid, or hydro projects that are interconnected with the central transmission utility (CTU) or state transmission utility (STU) networks. TPTCL is committed to providing these renewable energy solutions for up to 25 years, offering a stable and reliable power source to help meet the growing demand for sustainable energy in India.

This EOI opens an opportunity for stakeholders in the energy sector to take part in India’s transition towards renewable energy and contribute to the nation’s environmental sustainability goals. Interested parties are encouraged to review the EOI details and submit their offers accordingly.
