Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) has successfully completed the auction to procure 250 MW of wind power capacity under Phase X of its grid-connected wind power projects. The auction attracted participation from four developers, with tariffs discovered in a narrow range of ₹3.43 to ₹3.44 per kWh, reflecting strong competition and growing maturity in the wind power sector.
Patel Infrastructure emerged as the largest winner in the auction, securing 100 MW of capacity at a tariff of ₹3.43 per kWh. Alfanar Power also won 50 MW at the same tariff of ₹3.43 per kWh. KP Energy and Powerica each secured 50 MW, with both projects awarded at a slightly higher tariff of ₹3.44 per kWh.
The tender was issued in September, when GUVNL launched the Request for Selection (RfS No. GUVNL / 250 MW / Wind (Phase X)) to procure power from new grid-connected wind projects in the state. In addition to the base capacity of 250 MW, the tender includes a greenshoe option that allows GUVNL to procure an additional 250 MW at the lowest discovered tariff, taking the total potential capacity to 500 MW.
This initiative underlines Gujarat’s continued focus on expanding its renewable energy capacity and meeting its Renewable Purchase Obligation targets while supporting the development of clean energy infrastructure in the state.
