HPPC asks SECI to allot solar capacity at fixed rate to fulfill its RPO target
HPPC petitioned to seek in-principle approval of the commission to purchase 250 MW of solar power from SECI under 2000 MW ISTS scheme. HPPC wished to purchase 250 MW of power from SECI at INR 2.93/kWh (excluding trading margin) fixed rate for 25 years in order to meet the state’s solar RPO targets. The commission approved the petition and asked HPPC to deposit a filing fee of INR 2 Lakh. SECI has agreed to allot 100 MW solar project capacity to HPPC at 2.54/kWh (excluding the trading margin of INR 0.07 kWh) against the requisite of 250 MW.
The solar Power Purchase Obligation target till FY 2022 is as below:
