SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

Page | 8
 Request for Proposal of Grid Connected Solar PV Projects

1.0 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

1.1 India is a tropical country, where sunshine is available for longer hours per day and in
great intensity. About 5,000 trillion kWh per year energy is incident over India’s land area
with most parts receiving 4-7 kWh per sq. m per day which is far more than the total
energy consumption of the country today. But, India produces a very negligible amount
of solar energy i.e. a merely 0.2 percent compared to other energy resources. Solar
energy, therefore, has great potential as future energy source.

1.2 Solar energy is environmentally friendly as it has zero emissions while generating
electricity or heat. From an energy security perspective, solar is the most secure of all
sources, since it is abundantly available. It is also clear that given the large proportion of
poor and energy un-served population in the country, every effort needs to be made to
exploit the relatively abundant sources of energy available to the country. The Govt. of
India, in all its recent policies relating to power sector has given due importance to
harness the sun’s energy in various ways.

1.3 Along with the rest of the world and our country, the Government of Bihar has also
recognized that climate change is one of the gravest threats we face and urgent action in
the State is required and that investment in renewable energy especially Solar is a good
way of stimulating the economy of the State and is committed to increasing the
proportion of energy we use from green energy sources by ensuring necessary
investment in sustainable energy.

1.4 At the same time, the State with the lowest per capita consumption of electricity in the
country (133 units against the national average of 883 units) and peak demand
shortages in the range of 22-23% has been reeling under acute power crises that is
threatening to derail the significant progress achieved in the past few years. Unlike
conventional power projects that require significant time period to develop, Solar Power
projects can be established in very short period of time. Further, Solar power, being one
of the cleanest forms of energy that is abundantly available in the State can be
harnessed to reduce the dependency on other non-renewable sources of energy.

1.5 Bihar receives an average annual global solar radiation in the range of 4.83 kWh/sq.m.
and has about 280 - 300 sunny days in a year. In order to catalyze the development and
application of Solar energy in the State by taking advantage of the State’s resources and
reducing energy scarcity, it is proposed to establish 100 MW of Solar PV projects within
the State on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis.

1.6 Bihar State Power (Holding) Company Limited (BSPHCL), a company engaged in
planning, promoting and developing the power sector in the state of Bihar, has been
designated by Energy Department, Govt. of Bihar for undertaking the bid process
management for selection of the private developers.

1.7 The selected Solar Power developers shall enter into a Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) with BSPHCL or its Distribution Companies and the term of PPA will be for a
period of 25 years.

in the audited consolidated account and provided further that the financial capability of
such companies (of which accounts are being merged in the consolidated accounts)
shall not be considered again for purpose of evaluation of any other Bid.

iii) For the purpose of the computation of Net Worth, the last four financial years shall be
considered. The Bidder would thus be required to submit annual audited accounts for

to Procurer, incorporate a Project Company, before signing the PPA with Procurer, with
equity participation by the Members in line with consortium agreement (to be submitted
along with RfP) i.e. the Project Company incorporated shall have the same
Shareholding Pattern as given at the time of RfP. This shall not change till the signing
of PPA and the percentage of Controlling Shareholding (held by the Lead Member
holding more than 50% of voting rights) shall not change from the RfP up to One Year
after the COD of the Project. However, in case of any change in the shareholding of
the other shareholders (other than the Controlling Shareholder including Lead
Member) after signing of PPA, the arrangement should not change the status of the
Controlling Shareholder and the lead member in the Project Company at least up to

a) A single Bidding Company shortlisted in RfP can also execute the project through a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). However the SPV has to be formed before signing of
PPA keeping the original shareholding unchanged. In case applications for multiple
projects have been made, separate project company can be formed for each project.

b) It is not necessary to have the Technology partner at RfP stage. Further it is also not
necessary for the Technology partner to have an equity stake in the Bidding
Company/Consortium. However if Technology Partner has an equity participation in
Bidding Consortium then it has to be a Company with equity participation less than
10%.

Page | 39
 Request for Proposal of Grid Connected Solar PV Projects

4.5 Step IV – Selection of Successful bidder(s)

4.5.1 The Bids qualifying in Step III shall only be evaluated in this stage.

4.5.2 All the qualified bidders shall be arranged in ascending order (i.e. lowest to highest) of
their net quoted tariff, as L1, L2, L3 ………… . In case two or more bidders have quoted
same tariff at any stage, there position in ascending order list will be fixed by draw of
lot(s).

4.5.3 From the ascending order list of the Qualified Bidders prepared as indicated at 4.5.2, list
of bidders for 100 MW capacity will be prepared as L1, L2, L3……..Ln (Ln is the position
of that bidder in ascending order list where cumulative quoted capacity of L1 to Ln bidder
becomes 100 MW). L1 tariff will be offered to L2, L3 and L4 and Ln bidders for giving
their consent to match their tariff with L1 quoted tariff. In case Ln bidder has offered 10
MW and cumulative capacity upto Ln-1 bidder has reached 95 MW, Ln bidder will be
offered 5 MW even though bidder has quoted for 10 MW capacity. In case L2, L3,
L4……LN bidders do not wish to match L1 tariff, they will be allowed to quit the bidding
process and their security (Earnest Money Deposit) shall be released. In such
circumstances, the capacity so released by these bidders will be offered to LN + 1, LN +
2 and so on at L1 tariff in sequential order till the time entire capacity of 100 MW is
allocated to the qualified bidders at L1 quoted tariff.

4.5.4 In case some capacity still remains unallocated after exhausting entire ascending order
list, the successful bidders (those who have already matched L1 quoted tariff and got
allocation as per their quoted capacity) will be offered additional capacity sequentially in
order of their position in the ascending order list in such a manner that the total allocated
capacity to any bidder does not exceed 20 MW and the bidder fulfills qualifying criterion
of net worth for total offered capacity.

4.5.5 In the eventuality of a tie in the bidding process, the applicant would be ranked by draw
of lots.

4.5.6 Based on the Selection Methodology as elaborated in Clause 4.5, Successful Bidder(s)
will be selected and the Letter(s) of Intent (LOI) shall be issued to all such Successful
Bidder(s).

4.6 Acceptance of Letter of Intent (LOI)

i) Within seven (7) days from the date of issue of the LOI, the Successful Bidders shall

7.6 If during the half yearly checks, both the main meters and the check meters are found to
be beyond permissible limits or error, the meters shall be immediately recalibrated and the
correction shall be applied to the consumption registered by the Main Meters to arrive at
the correct consumption of energy for billing purposes for the period of the month up to the

deducting the Auxiliary consumption and transmission / wheeling loss as determined by

BERC from time to time.

7.7 Corrections in billing, wherever necessary, shall be applicable to the period between date
& time of the previous test calibration and the date & time of the test calibration in the
current month when the error is observed and this correction shall be for the full value of
the absolute error. For the purpose of the correction to be applied, the meter shall be
tested at 100, 75, 50, 25 & 10 percent load at unity, 0.85 lag & 0.75 lag power factors. Of
these fifteen values, the error at the load and power factor nearest the average monthly
load served at the point during the period shall be taken as the error to be applied for
correction.

7.8 The billing will be normally done on the basis of readings recorded by the meters installed
at the Delivery point (Main Meters) at grid substation of BSPTCL or power substation of
Procurer. In case the metering equipment of Delivery point becomes defective, the billing
shall be done on the basis of meter readings of the meters installed at generating station
switchyard. Under such condition the net power supplied to Procurer system will be
calculated as follows:

Net Energy supplied to Procurer (in Kwh) = [Energy recorded at the check meter installed
at the out going feeder of the generating station switchyard - Transmission loss - Wheeling
loss (at 33 KV or 11 KV)]. Transmission and Wheeling loss will be as determined by BERC
time to time. The defective meters shall however be replaced within three (3) months of
the detection by either partly.

7.9 If both the Energy Meters located at the outgoing feeder of the generation switch yard and
State utility Grid Substation / Power substation fail to record the Electricity supplied then
the Electricity supplied will be computed from the log sheets maintained at Procurer’s Grid
substation / Power Substations for that period of defect. The M.R.I of the meter will be
considered an authentic document for verification of the meter reading and will be final &
binding on both parties.

7.10 For the purpose of test & calibration, the sub standard meter shall be got calibrated and
sealed from reputed testing Laboratory. This meter shall be calibrated once in every 2
years.

7.11 Reporting of Metered Data and Parameters

7.11.1 The grid connected solar PV power plants will install necessary equipment for regular
monitoring of solar irradiance (including GHI DHI and solar radiation in the module plane),
ambient air temperature, wind speed and other weather parameters and simultaneously
for monitoring of the electric power (both DC and AC) generated from the Project.

7.11.2 Online arrangement would have to be made by the SPD at its own cost for submission of
