Hindustan Power Secures 100-Megawatt Solar Project in Punjab
Hindustan Power, a leading integrated power generation company in India, has secured a significant project from the Punjab government to set up a 100-megawatt solar project in the state. The project was awarded through a rigorous process, involving a tariff-based competitive bidding process followed by a successful e-reverse auction.
Under the terms of the project, Hindustan Power will enter into a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Punjab State Power Corporation Limited, providing long-term visibility on revenues while supporting the supply of clean energy to the state. This project reflects Hindustan Power's commitment to renewable and transitional energy generation.
The project is expected to be commissioned within 24 months from the effective date of the PPA. With this development, Hindustan Power aims to contribute meaningfully to the state's energy mix while further strengthening its operational footprint in the region. The company's Chairman, Ratul Puri, has expressed the company's confidence in Punjab as an important market, with steady demand for reliable and clean power.
