n a tender notice on May 17, Coal India Limited has invited expressions of interest from relevant firms to get empaneled with it for its floating solar plans. The Maharatna firm has set a target of 3 GW of solar plants, aligned to its broader goal to be a net zero energy emissions firm by 2024. Two categories have been created: For Category (i) : (less than 100 MWp) Applicants are required to have successfully designed, supplied, erected /supervised erection, and commissioned / supervised commissioning of Solar PhotoVoltaic-based grid connected power plant(s) of cumulative installed capacity of 60 MWp or higher in the last five financial years including the financial year in which the Application has been submitted, out of which at least one plant should have been of 10 MWp or higher capacity installed at a single location. The reference plant of 10 MWp or higher capacity must have been in successful operation for at least six (6)
months prior to the last date of submission of application for empanelment. For Category (ii) : The Applicant should have successfully designed, supplied, erected /supervised erection, and commissioned / supervised commissioning of Solar PhotoVoltaic-based grid connected power plant(s) of cumulative installed capacity of 150 MWp or higher in the last five (5) financial
years including the financial year in which the Application has been submitted, out of which at least one plant should have been of 50 MWp or higher capacity installed at a single location.

Suzlon Wins 252 MW Project From CLP India
S
uzlon Group, has secured an order for developing a 252-megawatt (MW) wind power project from CLP India. The project is part of the bid won by CLP India in SECI’s VIII tranche of wind projects, some of which have been delayed significantly due to land availability issues in Gujarat. This particular project will be based at Sidhpur in Gujarat. CLP India had won the bid with a price of Rs 2.83 per unit. The project is the largest renewable project at a single site for CLP India. Suzlon will be involved in the supply, foundation, erection, and commissioning of the project and will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services after commissioning. Suzlon will provide and install

feature Dual Feed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology that integrates wind turbines into the utility grid to meet grid requirements. These are also designed to perform at higher
altitudes, and are capable of working at low-wind sites at viable levels. CLP India is owned by CLP Group, one of Asia’s largest investor-owned energy companies, and Caisse de dépôt et location du Québec (CDPQ), a global investment group. Since its founding in 2002, it has grown to become one of the largest foreign investors in the Indian energy sector. Its diversified portfolio comprises more than 3,000 MW of electricity generating capacity, including wind and solar power projects in seven states, as well as transmission assets. For Suzlon, this is the first major project announcement after its last round of debt restructuring, making it a critical step towards complete rehabilitation financially.
