Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy (SWREL) has won NTPC Renewable Energy’s (NTPC REL) engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) auction to set up a 245 MW solar project in Khavda Renewable Energy Park in the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat.

The tender was floated in May 2025.

The company has not disclosed the project’s contract value.

SWREL must provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for three years. This includes providing the electrical equipment, consumables, and spare parts.

The scope of work covers the design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of the solar project in the south lock of the Khavda Renewable Energy Park.

It also includes the supply of solar modules, grading and clearing of vegetation at the project site, topographical surveys, and geotechnical investigations.

SWREL must design and construct the foundation, erect tracker-based module mounting structures, and fix solar modules on the module mounting structures.

It must also construct a pre-engineered type of inverter room with a power conditioning unit associated with low-tension and high-tension switchgear. It must also build a pre-engineered high-tension switchgear room for the string inverter.

The project encompasses all associated electrical and civil works required for interfacing with the grid, as well as the evacuation of power to the 33 kV switchgear of the 33/400 kV GIS substation through a 33 kV cable.

It also covers the design, supply, and installation of robotic module cleaning systems.

The project must be equipped with a supervisory control and data acquisition system for remote monitoring and control of the inverters. It must also include a weather monitoring station.

SWREL provides EPC services for utility-scale solar, floating solar, hybrid, and energy storage solutions. It has a total portfolio of over 22.8 GW and manages the operation and maintenance portfolio of 9.3 GW solar power projects, including those constructed by third parties.

In June 2025, NTPC invited tenders for the EPC of a 250 MW ground-mounted solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
