VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh Green Energy Corporation Ltd (APGECL) has floated the tender for establishment of solar power plants with an aggregate capacity of 6,400 megawatts (MW) for offering sustainable free agriculture power for at least 30 years. The mega solar plants would come up in 10 locations in Kadapa, Kurnool, Anantapur and Prakasam districts.
The last date to file the bids is December 28 and they would be opened to identify the solar power developers (SPDs) on January 7. Reverse auction will also be held to identify the lowest rates. Though the officials had preliminarily planned the establishment of 6,050 MW in 10 locations, it has been decided to have the capacities in the multiples of 300 MW and 400 MW after the judicial preview and hence there has been an increase of 350 MW in the total capacity.
