SECI’s 1200 MW wind auction gets tepid response

Wind energy developers were surprisingly lukewarm to the auction of 1,200 MW of projects offered by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), with techno-commercial bids of only half the capacity on offer. SECI confirmed the development. Most SECI auctions are usually oversubscribed. Its last wind auction of 1200 MW in mid-February, for instance, drew […]

Flexible’ power system key to renewables push

The drop in renewable energy tariffs in India is one of the true success stories of the last few years. From around ₹10-12/kWh in 2010, solar tariffs have come down to ₹2.5-3/kWh. Wind tariffs have fallen from ₹4.5-5/kWh to a similar range as solar. There is no longer any doubt that renewables are cheaper than new coal, and […]
