SJVN Limited has announced the results of its auction for 170 MW of interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected wind power projects, a part of its 600 MW wind energy tender. Adyant Enersol (Datta Infra) secured 70 MW at a tariff of Rs 3.98 per kWh, while UPC Renewables won 100 MW at Rs 3.99 per kWh. The relatively high tariffs are cited as a reason why SJVN did not award the full 600 MW capacity. In comparison, Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited’s previous wind tender for 1,350 MW across Gujarat, Karnataka and Rajasthan saw lower tariffs, with JSW Neo Energy securing 700 MW at Rs 3.61 per kWh and Powerica winning 50 MW at Rs 3.70 per kWh.
