As many as 90 bids have been received by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) for a quantum of 500 megawatt (MW).

This is in response to the Tangedco’s tender for the purchase of solar power to the tune of 1,000 MW. On Friday, technical bids were opened by the Tangedco officials in charge of the tender. After scrutiny, price documents of eligible bidders will be taken up for consideration. The entire exercise of selecting developers is likely to be completed in a month, a source says.
