The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has decided to push back the deadline for its two massive solar power generation projects with a combined capacity of 1,710 megawatts. The capacity includes two separate tenders: one for domestically manufactured solar photovoltaic (PV) modules with a capacity of 1680 MW, and another for floating solar PV (FSPV) plants with a capacity of 30 MW in Koderma, Mejia, and Raghunathpur in India.
SECI issued a request for bids on June 29, 2022, for the production, testing, packing, forwarding, supply, and transportation of 1,680 MW domestically manufactured PV modules with domestically produced solar cells. The original deadline for submitting bids was July 29th, 2022; however, it has since been extended to August 19th, 2022.
On the other hand, SECI issued a tender on June 17, 2022, for the installation of grid-connected 30 MW Floating Solar PV (FSPV) Plants on Raw Water Reservoirs of DVC Thermal Power Plants at Koderma, Mejia, and Raghunathpur Thermal Power stations. The deadline has also been extended to August 22, 2022.
