RRECL Invites EoI For 45 MW Solar Power Project For Rajasthan’s Industrial Consumers

The Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL), a state-owned enterprise, has invited Expressions of Interest (EoI) for a new renewable energy project aimed at supplying solar power to commercial and industrial consumers in Rajasthan. The initiative focuses on the procurement of power from a proposed 45 MW Solar PV plant that will be developed in the Jodhpur region of Western Rajasthan. The project is planned across two locations, Phalodi and Mathania, and may also include Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to improve energy reliability and efficiency.

The project is being introduced mainly for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) consumers operating within the state. Eligible participants include industries, manufacturing facilities, IT companies, hospitals, banks, educational institutions, and other large power consumers. According to the EoI document, participating entities are generally expected to have a power requirement of at least 5 MW and should be interested in long-term renewable energy procurement solutions.

RRECL has proposed long-term power procurement arrangements for a period of up to 25 years. The corporation plans to develop, operate, and maintain the solar project while supplying electricity either through a third-party sale model or through captive mode arrangements. The initiative is expected to help industries secure stable green power while supporting sustainability goals and reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.

The move is in line with India’s national renewable energy targets, including the goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030 and reaching Net Zero emissions by 2070. Increasingly, industries are also shifting towards renewable energy due to global environmental regulations and reporting requirements. Measures such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for exporters and sustainability disclosure norms introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are encouraging businesses to adopt cleaner energy sources.

The EoI document includes indicative tariff ranges to help interested entities evaluate the commercial feasibility of the project. However, RRECL has clarified that these tariff estimates are preliminary and may change during the finalization of the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

The EoI process officially began on May 8, 2026, and interested parties must submit their responses by May 25, 2026, before 6:00 PM. A consultation meeting with stakeholders is scheduled for May 26, 2026, at the RRECL board room in Jaipur to discuss the project and gather feedback from participants.

Applications can be submitted through both online and offline modes. Interested entities are required to pay an EoI document fee of ₹1,000 plus GST and a processing fee of ₹5,000 plus GST. Applicants must also provide details regarding their energy requirements and financial condition as part of the submission process.

Through this initiative, RRECL aims to understand market demand and design a renewable power model that effectively supports Rajasthan’s industrial sector while strengthening the state’s renewable energy leadership.
