The Greenshoe option allows Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited to offer an additional 400 MW capacity, bringing the total potential capacity to 900 MW.
SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), a subsidiary of SJVN focused on renewable energy, has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for a 500 MW solar project.
This project is part of GUVNL Phase XXI and was secured by SGEL through tariff-based competitive bidding at a rate of Rs. 2.54 per unit. The project will be built on a Build Own and Operate (BOO) basis at the GIPCL Solar Park in Khavda, Gujarat.
The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 2,700 crores. The Greenshoe option allows GUVNL to offer an additional 400 MW capacity to SGEL under the same terms and conditions, bringing the total potential capacity to 900 MW.
The final power purchase agreement will be signed after the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) approves the tariff. Once operational, the project is expected to be commissioned within 18 months and generate 1,271.07 million units of clean energy in the first year.
