The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from Indian and foreign entities, including consortiums, affiliates, and representatives, to develop a 50MW Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project with a Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS). The project aims to provide renewable energy during peak demand and non-solar hours on a Build Own Operate (B-O-O) basis.
Project Scope: NTPC is seeking proposals for the establishment of a 50MW CSP project with TESS to ensure uninterrupted power supply during peak hours and non-solar periods.
Operational Requirements: The TESS should enable 8 hours of operation during peak demand and non-solar hours, with a minimum annual availability of 70% of the contracted capacity.
Exclusive Use of CSP: Only concentrated solar power (CSP) will be permitted for charging the TESS, emphasizing the reliance on solar energy for this project.
Download and Submission Timelines:
- Interested applicants can download the EOI documents from NTPC’s official website.
- Queries and clarifications can be addressed until April 24, 2024.
- The deadline for EOI submission is May 9, 2024.
