Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) has invited expression of interest (EoI) from prospective bidders for setting up of 2 GW solar projects on build-own-operate basis on government land parcels spread across Chitrakoot, Jalaun, Jhansi and Lalitpur districts of Uttar Pradesh.

The last date for submission of bids is February 10, 2025. The techno-commercial bids will be opened on February 11, 2025.

The proposed solar power project aims to be a state-of-the-art facility for generating green energy from solar power. This initiative plans to significantly contribute to Uttar Pradesh's energy mix and increase the state's renewable energy capacity.

“It will also make use of wastelands for setting up solar photovoltaic (PV) plants. The 2 GW project will be developed on approximately 8,000 acres of government land, with various project capacities at different sites,” mentioned the EoI document.

It further added that these sites are distributed across 158 villages in the districts of Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Jalaun, and Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh. “To facilitate the establishment of this solar power plant, and in accordance with the solar energy policy of 2022, UPNEDA will lease approximately 8,000 acres of government land for 30 years,” it said.

The solar power plant developers shall be required to survey, design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning with operations and maintenance of SPV and connect the same with the nearest State Transmission Utility (STU)/Distribution Company (DISCOM) substation along with commissioning of the project within stipulated time period.

UPNEDA is committed to advancing the state's renewable energy infrastructure and achieving its sustainability goals. In alignment with this vision, UPNEDA is the nodal implementing agency under Uttar Pradesh Solar Energy Policy, 2022 which has set a target of addition of 22,000 MW solar energy by 2027. Out of this, 14,000 MW is target set for large scale solar power projects.
