Solar Power Auction

The World Bank today praised India's success in renewable energy auctions that delivered record-setting low prices for solar power and said the number of countries with strong policy frameworks for sustainable energy more than tripled -- from 17 to 59 -- in the eight years till 2017.

Last month SoftBank secured 200 megawatts of solar capacity at an auction in the southwestern state of Karnataka.

"India gets lowest wind tariff of Rs 2.64 per kWh (unit) in the second wind auction of 1,000 MW," the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said.

Bhadla village on the fringes of the Thar Desert about 200 km from Rajasthan's famed Jodhpur city wasn't on the tourist map and nobody ever went there. It only made headlines for extreme heat, temperatures that went up to 52 degrees in the summer. But the sun's bounty is now helping change the lives of the people. It is the heart of India's clean e...

Solar power tariff has dropped to a record low of Rs 2.62 per unit in the auction conducted for Bhadla solar park. The price is even lower than NTPC's average coal-based power tariff of Rs 3.20 per unit.

The levelised solar power tariff has dropped to all time low of Rs 3.15 per unit in an auction of a 250 MW project at Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. Earlier in February, the lower capital expenditure and cheaper credit had pulled down solar tariff to a new low of Rs 2.97 per unit for the first year in an auction conducted for 750 MW capacity in Rewa Sol...

Green seems to be the catchword for the government heading into the next year as it gears up to achieve 175 gigawatt of clean energy by 2022 through auction of 1,000 MW of rooftop solar power, Rs 13,000 crore investment in solar parks and a Rs 21,000-crore package to boost local manufacturing of panels.

Solar power tariff had touched all-time low of Rs 4.63 per unit in November last year when SunEdison quoted the price of electricity in an e-auction by NTPC for 500 MW project in solar power park in Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh.

Finnish utility firm Fortum on Wednesday said it has secured a 100 MW solar power project from NTPC under an auction for 500 MW grid, which will connect solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in Karnataka's Tumkur district.

Diversified company Aditya Birla Nuvo (ABNL) will make its foray into solar power and would participate in auction of such projects in Telangana.
