Last week, SECI conducted auction for a 1,200 MW utility scale solar tender. The tender received bids for full 1,200 MW but the auction was completed for only 960 MW, equivalent to 80% of the bids received, as per the rules in place. ReNew, Avaada and UPC Renewables won 300 MW each at a tariff of INR 2.71/ kWh; Tata Power won the remaining 60 MW at INR 2.72/ kWh.
