Mahanadi Coalfields Invites Solar Bids

Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, has invited bids for the development of a 1.5 MW rooftop solar system across various locations in Odisha. This initiative is part of MCL's broader efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by integrating renewable energy into its operations, aligning with India's push toward sustainable energy sources. The tender calls for the installation of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems atop buildings at MCL’s various facilities.

The project will be executed through an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) model, with the selected contractor responsible for the entire lifecycle of the project, including design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the rooftop solar systems. The chosen bidder must ensure the solar panels are installed with high efficiency and durability to maximize power output. The total capacity of 1.5 MW will help MCL significantly reduce its reliance on conventional electricity sources, promoting greener energy solutions in the coal mining sector.

The deadline for bid submission is set for the end of October 2024. MCL's transition to solar power supports India's commitment to increasing its renewable energy capacity, helping industrial sectors like coal mining to adopt cleaner energy sources. Additionally, this project underscores the growing trend of solar adoption by heavy industries, helping to mitigate climate change and improve sustainability.

This development also aligns with the government's mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, further emphasizing the critical role that renewable energy will play in India's future energy strategy. By inviting bids for this rooftop solar project, MCL is positioning itself as a key player in India's renewable energy revolution.
