BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited(BYPL) on Thursday said they have signed agreements with Solar Energy Corporation of India to procure 200 MW of wind-power.
The 100-MW each power is expected to be available to the two Delhi discoms from FY 2020-21 for a period of 25 years at a tariff of Rs 2.84 per unit, including the trading margin, an official statement said. SECI will act as an intermediary procurer, it said.
With this arrangement, BSES discoms will get total wind power of 600 MW. BRPL and BYPL earlier signed agreements to procure 250 MW and 150 MW of wind-power, respectively. Of these, 50 MW of wind power has started flowing from October 2018 and another 50 MW is expected to be available over the next couple of months. The remaining will start flowing from November 2019.
A BSES spokesperson said, “Renewable energy is critical for sustainable growth and BSES is alive to it while ensuring there is minimal burden on the consumers. This allocation of wind power is once again a testament to our efforts.”
