The tender conditions holds good

to take up the solar power project

on BOOT basis for 15 years of

O&M after build & commissioning

of the plant.

However any other action by the

developer, other than establishing

solar power project and related

Accordingly the same will be

included in the agreement.

3 2 TTD will permit the agency to set up a

solar Power Project in its land at

Kosuvaripalli, Near Thamballapalli,

Chitoor District, Andhra Pradesh,

without any transfer of right on the

land. TTD will permit the agency to

setup the Solar Power plants in the

proposed land without involving any

transfer of right to the property.

1) The land owned by TTD can

be leased to project developer on

long term basis for the entire

useful life of the project.

2) Land allotted shall have

deemed approval of mortagaging /

leased to the successful bidder for the

tenure of 10 years under the BOOT.

1) This solar project developer

shall own the project for 10 years

which is in fact a long term.

2) As the asset will remain with

developer for a long term and

considering the fact that TTD has

no experience operating and

implementing solar projects, thus

the project can be implemented in

BOO basis, where the Developer

shall own and maintain the project

for the entire useful life of the

project i.e. for 25 years.

1) Andhra Pradesh enjoy almost

long sun shine hours.

2) Implementation of single axis

tracking system will incorporate

moving parts into the system,

which has its own advantages and

dis-advantages.

3) We request that project should

be independent of tracking system

installation as the same will add on

to project cost and at the same

time will also increase O&M

4) The implementation of tracking

10 General We would like to again stress the

importance of installing 10 MW

solar plant with single axis trackers

as mentioned in the TTD tender

documents. The Solar plant with

single axis trackers can

significantly reduce the cost of

power generated vis a vis of the

power generated from fixed tilt

solar plants. Hence it will be

beneficial for TTD in the long run

especially after the completion of

the BOOT period. Hence TTD

should insist on the construction of

a solar plant with single axis

trackers only as specificed on the

original tender documents.

It is the responsibility of agency to

1) Construction of dedicated

transmission lines for solar

projects by the developers would

only lead to redundancy in the

system. This is because each

project developer would build a

separate transmission line and

occupy a separate bay in the Grid

sub-station. Since solar power is

generated and transmitted only

during the day, the utilization factor

of these transmission lines is also

very less -20% or so equal to the

utilization factor of the solar

project. Thus construction of

dedicated transmission lines would

only increase the stress on land

acquisition, right of way issues

etc., We strongly suggest that the

scope of developing transmission

lines and augmentation of

transmission infrastructure should

be in the scope of procures who

can rationalize the transmission

capacity addition by clubbing

various projects together and also

allowing existing lines for future

projects.
