Tariff-based competitive bidding for procurement of 500 MW of solar
power in Telangana
Pre-bid Meeting 5 Sept 2014Authorized Representative: TSSPDCL
(Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited)
Procurers: TSSPDCL and TSNPDCL
• The purpose of this presentation is to provide a summary of the Bid Model for the Telangana solar tender. The model essentially revolves around a distributed generation format with projects connected at 33kV, 132 kV and 220 kV voltage levels.
• Bidders have to rely on the bid documents available on the website for all the terms and conditions applicable for the Bid. This presentation only provides a quick overview and is not comprehensive in nature. In the event of any discrepancy between this presentation and the bid documents, the bid documents will overrule this document.
• This presentation attempts to provide clarifications on some of the queries raised by the Bidders but Bidders should solely rely on the clarifications/amendments issued by the Authorized Representative on the eProcurement platform/website as the case may be
Brief Overview and Project Scope
Project Location Bidder is free to set up Projects anywhere in the State Location/Project site can be changed until financial closure
Project capacity
Minimum 2 MW at Delivery Voltage of 33 kV at 33/11kV substation
Maximum 200 MW (double circuit line) 220 kV Delivery Voltage at 220/132kV substation
Project Capacity Limits defined at each voltage level and at each s/s category under Annexure D
Interconnection Substation A single Project shall be connected to a single Interconnection Substation But any substation can have multiple projects connected to it depending on
injection limits specified in the RfS Bidder shall submit a List of Preferred Interconnection Substations (At least 1 and
upto 5) where he intends to connect the entire Offered Capacity Allocation (in order of bid parameter) shall be done in the order of the preference
list After issue of LOI, Interconnection Substation cannot be changed
Tariff, Evaluation and Payment
Tariff Options (all tariffs for evaluation and payment shall be on Tariff Year basis)
Tariff Year shall mean 365 days from COD and last Tariff Year shall end on expiry of PPA
Option Evaluation Payment
Option 1 (Uniform Tariff) Bidder quotes a single Quoted Tariff uniformly applicable for the entire term of PPA
Bid Parameter is Quoted Tariff
Quoted Tariff shall be applicable for the entire term of the PPA
Option 2 (Base tariff + Esc) Bidder quotes tariff for First Year and Escalation (>0%) to be applied on base tariff from year 2 till year 10
Year 10 tariff shall apply for year 11 till year 25
Bid Parameter is Levelized Tariff computed using CERC discount rate (will be notified on website 7 days prior to bid deadline)
Tariff for first Tariff year shall be the quoted tariff
Tariff for first tariff year shall be escalated by the escalation rate specified by the Bidder for each year and such escalated tariff shall be paid from year 2 till 10
Year 10 tariff shall be paid for years 11 till 25
• Bid Parameter under both tariff options shall be computed– Under option 1 , bid parameter is quoted tariff itself– Under option 2, bid parameter is levelized tariff computed based on quoted tariff
(first year), escalation rates specified by Bidder and CERC notified discount rate
• All Bid parameters are ranked from lowest to highest and allocation shall start from Bidder with first rank i.e. lowest tariff. In case bid parameters for two bids is the same, then the bid corresponding to higher offered capacity will be given better rank
• Multiple Bids can be submitted by the Bidder. But allocation will happen in the stacking order of bid parameter only. Hence a bidder may have two positions in the ranking order

Evaluation of Bids and allocation of Interconnection Substations (2/3)
First round of allocation
•Qualified Bidder with lowest rank will be allocated the most preferred Interconnection Substation from the List given by the Bidder and issued LOI for the Offered Capacity under the Financial Bid
•At any stage if available capacity at the preferred s/s is less than offered capacity, then
– Bidder can develop projects at reduced capacity
– Bidder can chose next preferred s/s from the List
•If available capacity at all preferred s/s in the list is less than offered capacity, then qualified bidder will be moved to second round of allocationSecond round of allocation
•All bidders moved to second round will be again ranked in order of bid parameter
•Starting with lowest bidder in second round, qualified bidders will be invited to select any s/s from all the s/s where there is available capacity
•In second round, bidder may either opt for developing projects at the available capacity or withdraw from the process (EMD will be returned)
•Subsequent to finalization of Interconnection substations with qualified bidders, LOI will be issued
