NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has floated a tender for an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) package for the development of a 300 MW grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV). The project will be developed near Nokhra in Rajasthan.

According to the tender specifications, the scope of work covers the complete design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of the solar power plant, including the supply of solar PV modules. It includes site preparation activities such as land grading, vegetation clearing, topographical surveys, and geotechnical investigations. It also covers the construction of foundations, installation of tracker-based module mounting structures, and mounting and interconnection of solar PV modules.

Additionally, the project involves the construction of inverter and switchgear rooms, associated civil and electrical infrastructure, HT cable laying, and grid connectivity up to the 33 kV main pooling switchgear. Other key components include the installation of a module cleaning system, internal roads, drainage networks, temporary fencing, security infrastructure, a weather monitoring station, and a SCADA-based system for remote monitoring and control of the solar power plant.
