Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency ( UPNEDA ) is planning to award only 72 MW of grid - connected solar projects in a tender designed to add 500 MW in total . Only three bids , totalling 90 MW , were submitted for the scheme , which was launched in January . Under the tender 's rules , only 10 MW of capacity is awarded if it is undersubscribed . “The UPERC only recently approved the deviations, but we are about to change from the TCIL portal to another portal so that another extension would have meant the cancellation of the tender. The state 's electricity regulatory authority had only recently approved changes put forward by UPNEDA concerning the request for selection and power purchase agreement aspects of the tender , which may have reduced interest .
