					</table><p><a href="http://www.naviyatech.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naviya Technologies Renewables</a>, a Mumbai-based solar developer, won the Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency’s (<a href="https://www.jreda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JREDA</a>) auction for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a 2 MW grid-connected canal-top solar project at Sikidiri Canal in Ranchi.</p>
<p>The company quoted a total cost of ₹153.27 million (~$1.85 million) for EPC works, a total of ₹17.53 million (~$211,956) for the operation and maintenance contract, and ₹27.12 million (~$327,892) for the net electrical energy generation guarantee (NEEGG) for ten years. The amounts are exclusive of GST.</p>
<p>The breakdown of the EPC costs based on the scope of work is given below:</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-49013" src="https://mercomindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/JREDA-Canal-Top-2-MW-Solar-Project-EPC-Costs.png" alt="JREDA Canal Top 2 MW Solar Project EPC Costs" width="518" height="310" srcset="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/JREDA-Canal-Top-2-MW-Solar-Project-EPC-Costs.png 518w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/JREDA-Canal-Top-2-MW-Solar-Project-EPC-Costs-300x180.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px" /></p>
<p>The tender was first <a href="https://mercomindia.com/jharkhand-epc-tender-2-mw-canal-top-solar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> in 2019 and has been reissued multiple times thereafter due to the underwhelming response.</p>
<p>The scope of work for Naviya Technologies includes the design, engineering, procurement, supply, and construction of the grid-connected canal-top solar project, along with the testing, commissioning, and evacuation of a 33 kV solar power substation.</p>
<p>The company will also be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the project for ten years.</p>
<p>The transmission line from the canal-top solar project switchyard to the pooling station will be developed by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL).</p>
<p>JREDA will enter into an agreement with Naviya Technologies within 15 days of issuing the work order.</p>
<p>The company must complete the project within 210 days of receiving the work order.</p>
<p>Naviya Technologies must submit a security deposit of 10% of the EPC contract price within 15 days of receiving the work order and 10% of the EPC contract price as the O&amp;M Bank Guarantee within 30 days from the start of the O&amp;M period. They must also submit a bank guarantee of ₹1 million (~$12,088)/MW against the photovoltaic module warranty.</p>
<p>The canal bank and canal top solar project programs were launched in the financial year 2014-15. Under this program, solar projects have been commissioned in different states, including Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.</p>
<p>In July last year, Jharkhand <a href="https://mercomindia.com/jharkhand-issues-new-solar-policy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the new ‘Jharkhand Solar Policy 2022’, aiming to deploy a cumulative capacity of 4 GW in the state by 2026. The government intends to install 900 MW of floating solar projects and 400 MW of canal-top solar projects under the policy.</p>
