A tender for 300 MW in grid-connected solar with a tariff ceiling of INR3 ($0.043) per kWh has been launched by the Indian state of Haryana. The government is also looking to expand its grid and install more renewable energy projects as part of an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions from power generation over the next decade. The Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC) will agree 25-year PPAs with successful developers. Generation shortfalls will result in a penalty for the developer, with excess generation able to be sold outside the HPPC deal.
