Mercom previously reported that mega solar tenders may get affected due to a lack of transmission infrastructure. Central Transmission Utility (SECI) has outlined a plan to create so-called evacuation infrastructure for just 1.2 GW of solar and 16.5 GW of wind by 2021 . The $ 6.1bn , two -phase plan, laid out in a letter to The Solar Energy Corporation of India and the country's Central Transmission Utility , also said an extra just 1.2 GW interstate transmission system evacuation capacity will be needed for wind projects in high priority areas. A recent SECI 2 GW wind tender attracted bids for just 1.2 GW, reportedly because of a shortage of connectivity infrastructure.
