Telangana Power Generation Corporation Limited (TGGENCO) has invited bids for preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for three solar power projects. The projects include a 15 MW floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) plant on the raw water reservoir at Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS), a 28 MW ground-mounted solar plant at Kothagudem Thermal Power Plant (KTPP), and a 13 MW floating solar plant on the raw water reservoir at KTPP. The DPR will cover technical specifications, commercial aspects, and feasibility studies to support the establishment of these grid-connected solar power plants.
The bidding process follows a two-part system, where technical and price bids will be evaluated separately. The bid submission begins on February 21, 2025, and the deadline for submission is March 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM.

Additionally, the selected bidder must furnish a security deposit equivalent to 2.5% of the contract value in the form of a bank guarantee.
Bidders must meet specific eligibility criteria to qualify. They should have prior experience in consultancy services related to feasibility studies and DPR preparation for at least one floating solar power plant and one ground-mounted solar power plant in India within the last five years.

TGGENCO reserves the right to accept or reject any bid without assigning reasons. The selected bidder will be required to submit the draft DPR within 20 days of receiving the purchase order, followed by the final DPR within 10 days after receiving comments from TGGENCO. The project aims to support Telangana’s clean energy initiatives and optimize the use of available land and water bodies for solar power generation.
