Govt mulling 2-3 tariff-based auctions for wind projects
Buoyed by the success of 2 tariff-based bidding for wind power projects, government will go ahead with 2-3 more such auctions for around 3 GW capacity, which may stagger to 2018, a senior official said.
The tariff-based competitive bidding for 1 GW wind projects brought down the tariff to a record low of Rs 3.46 per unit in February this year which further dropped to all time low of Rs 2.64 per unit in a similar auction earlier this month.
State-run Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) was the nodal agency for conducting these two auctions.
