					</table><p>The Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation (<a href="https://aavin.tn.gov.in/web/guest/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TCMPF</a>) has invited bids to procure 30 MW of solar, wind, or surplus power from producers through an open access arrangement for five years.</p>
<p>The scope of work includes the purchase of solar and wind power and surplus power from producers for metro dairies, one product dairy, one dairy-cum-powder plant at Ammapalayam, Madurai ice cream plant, and other outlets.</p>
<p>The TCMPF represents 25 district cooperative milk producers’ unions.</p>
<p>The last date to submit the bids online is June 8, 2023. Bids will be opened the following day.</p>
<p>Bidders must submit ₹100,000 (~$1,223) as an earnest money deposit.</p>
<p>The estimated value of the tender is ₹1.752 billion (~$21.44 million).</p>
<p>The supply of power should commence after three months from the purchase order.</p>
<p>The contracted energy per year is 43.8 GWh, approximately for five years. The period can be extended to another five years with mutual consent.</p>
<p>Any bidder with a minimum capacity of 5 MW can participate in the tender and should supply a minimum of 4,000 units/day.</p>
<p>To be eligible for bidding, the bidder, as a developer, should have installed and commissioned at least 5 MW grid-connected solar power or wind project in the last five years. The project should have been commissioned at least six months before the bid opening date.</p>
<p>Alternatively, bidders should have executed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a solar project, a wind project, or power generators from which power has been proposed to be supplied.</p>
<p>A bidder who is a power trader should have executed at least 5 MW of PPAs for solar, wind, surplus power from producers, or renewable energy source in the last five years prior to the bid submission date.</p>
<p>Alternatively, the solar and wind project, or projects from where surplus power is procured, should have an untied capacity sufficient to supply at least the contracted energy required.</p>
<p>The bidder should have an annual turnover equal to the value of the solar power quoted in the last three financial years.</p>
<p>If the actual energy supplied in any month is less than 6% of the annual contracted energy, bidders must pay a penalty of 25% of the quoted tariff during such month.</p>
<p>In February this year, the Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/karnataka-milk-bids-for-110-mw-solar-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited</a> bids for the implementation of a 110 MW solar power project in group captive mode.</p>
<p>Earlier, TCMPF had <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/tender-issued-20-gwh-solar-power-open-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a tender to procure 20 GWh of solar power per year through open access projects for five years.</p>
