The Energy Management Centre (EMC) Kerala has announced a tender for the selection of consultants to assist in providing Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services for Cochin Shipyard Ltd.'s (CSL) ambitious Renewable Energy Expansion Program. The program is focused on achieving 100 percent green energy, including the establishment of a hybrid wind and solar power plant with a capacity of approximately 8.4 MW wind and 5 MWp solar power.

The selected consultant will assist EMC in managing the entire project lifecycle, from land finalisation to preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Responsibilities will also include drafting Expression of Interest (EOI) documents to select an EPC contractor and overseeing the execution and commissioning of the power plant. The project is a key part of Cochin Shipyard's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.

Cochin Shipyard, a government-owned entity established in 1972, is a leading shipbuilding and repair facility in India, recognised for its contributions to national security, including delivering India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.

The firm has committed to embedding sustainability into its operations by transitioning to 100 percent green energy. The company has already adopted several eco-friendly initiatives, such as constructing zero-emission feeder container vehicles and green hydrogen-powered ships. 

The tender will be conducted through an e-procurement portal of the Government of Kerala. Prospective bidders must register on the portal and obtain a Class III or above Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). The bidding process involves submitting both technical and financial proposals, with a focus on quality and cost-based selection (QCBS). The weightage for quality is 60 percent, while the quoted price accounts for 40 percent.

Bidders are required to pay a tender document fee of INR 5,000 plus 18 percent GST, and an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of INR 50,000. The tender is open for participation via the e-procurement platform, with details available on the official website. Key dates include bid submission by September 30, 2024, and bid opening on October 2, 2024. The project will span 365 days.

This initiative marks a significant step toward Cochin Shipyard's goal of achieving 100 percent green energy and is expected to play a crucial role in the broader push for sustainable industrial practices across India.
