NTPC Issues Tender for Solar Projects

NTPC Limited has issued an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) tender for 795 MW of solar projects at Khavda, as reported by Mercom India. This tender represents a significant step in NTPC's efforts to expand its renewable energy portfolio and support India's clean energy goals.

The Khavda solar projects are part of NTPC's broader strategy to increase its renewable energy capacity and reduce its carbon footprint. The projects are located in the Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat, which is poised to become one of the largest renewable energy hubs in India. The tender invites bids from qualified EPC contractors to design, supply, install, and commission the solar power plants.

Interested bidders are expected to demonstrate their technical expertise and financial capability to undertake large-scale solar projects. The selected contractor will be responsible for all aspects of the project, including engineering, procurement of materials, construction, testing, and commissioning. The project will also require the establishment of necessary infrastructure such as transmission lines and substations to ensure the effective integration of the generated solar power into the grid.

NTPC's initiative aligns with India's National Solar Mission, which aims to achieve 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022. By developing these solar projects, NTPC is contributing to this ambitious target and supporting the country's transition to a sustainable energy future. The Khavda solar projects are expected to generate significant employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases, thereby boosting the local economy.

The solar power generated from these projects will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to India's climate change mitigation efforts. Additionally, the successful implementation of these projects will enhance NTPC's position as a leading player in the renewable energy sector and demonstrate its commitment to environmental sustainability.

The tender process is designed to ensure transparency and competitiveness, encouraging the participation of both domestic and international firms. NTPC aims to leverage advanced technologies and innovative solutions to maximize the efficiency and performance of the solar power plants.

Biomass Burning Key Culprit Behind Kolkata’s Air Toxicity: Study

Kolkata, a city marked under India’s National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), continues to grapple with hazardous air despite national efforts, due to the unchecked burning of biomass and solid waste. A new study by the Bose Institute has revealed a sharp correlation between ultrafine particulate matter (PM2.5) and rising toxicity levels, identifying waste burning as a key contributor. The research, led by Prof. Abhijit Chatterjee and his team, studied the oxidative potential (OP) of PM2.5—referring to its capacity to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human lungs. These ROS can overwhe..
