SALIENT FEATURES OF BHILAI SOLAR PV POWER PROJECT (7 MWp)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
NTPC – SAIL Power Company Limited (NSPCL) is a 50:50 joint venture of two Maharatna PSUs
i.e. NTPC LTD, an integrated power major and SAIL, one of the largest steel producing companies
of India. It has an installed capacity of coal based 814 MW at different SAIL locations i.e Bhilai,
Rourkela & Durgapur. Out of 814 MW of installed capacity 564 MW capacity is for captive use of
SAIL plant at respective locations. It is also undertaking the development of Coal based units of
1X250 MW at SAIL, Rourkela (RSP) & 2X20 MW at SAIL, Durgapur (DSP), which are under
construction phase by BHEL & ISGEC Ltd respectively.
NSPCL is intending to set up a 7 MWp Solar PV plant at it’s Bhilai Project. The 7 MWp Solar PV
power project shall be implemented in a single EPC package under domestic competitive bidding
using Non DCR (open category) manufactured PV modules and cells. Further this EPC package is
proposed to be awarded to single bidder in single block of 7 MWp with suitable award criteria
intimated separately in the bidding documents.

5.0 BRIEF SCOPE OF WORK
Please refer detailed NIT/IFB.
6.0 TECHNOLOGY
In Solar Photo Voltaic Power Generation the direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity is
achieved by using semiconductor devices “Solar Cells” which work on the principles of photo
electric effect.
7.0 POWER EVACUATION SYSTEM
A double circuit power evacuation line (each of 5 MW capacity) shall be laid and connected
between solar project site and Tower no 73 near Maroda gate of BSP’s existing 11 KV Township
O/H Line-3 feeding power from TSS-2 (PSD) to TDS-2 (TEED) of Maroda sector by means of a
“Tee” connection with suitable isolation / switching provision. A small local switching / isolating
substation shall be installed near the “Tee” point for which BSP shall provide a small piece of land
in its township near Tower no 73 mentioned above.
