The Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC) has been granted approval for procuring 800 MW of renewable energy from Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) Limited for which a plea seeking petition was filed. This renewable energy will come from Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected projects equipped with energy storage systems. The proposed rate for this energy is Rs 4.45 per kilowatt-hour, including a trading margin, over 25 years.
The bidding process initiated by SJVN, a total of 1,500 MW of renewable energy offering gives the option to increase this capacity by another 1,500 MW. The energy provided by SJVN is expected to have a minimum Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) of 70%, which is comparable to the Plant Load Factor (PLF) of thermal power plants. Moreover, SJVN is obligated to ensure at least 90% availability of this energy during peak hours, defined as two hours each in the morning and evening.
