The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy MNRE has now officially received the bids for the Second Batch of Solar Photovoltaic Power Projects under the JNNSM.
As predicted in our previous posts on the allocations, the competition for projects with very low bids by developers made this allocation one of the fiercest to date and brought Solar power much closer to Wind as well Biomass sources.
The NVVN bidding results are now out with the lowest bid for 5MW starting at a mind numbing Rs. 7.49 per KWh submitted by Solar Direct who have in the past shown interest in using an all equity style of funding.
