The proposals have been considered by AP Transco of issuance of evacuation clearances to facilitate the developers to participate in Request for Selection (RfS) to be invited by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVN) for final allotment.
Currently, three projects of 5 MW each under solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) and one project of 50 MW under solar thermal (CSP) route have been allotted in phase one of RfS called by NVVN.
The price quoted recently by companies like Megha Engineering at about Rs 12 is quite aggressive considering a high of Rs 19 barely two years ago.
This price is also lower than the price fixed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) at Rs 17.91.
In addition, 11 proposals have been selected with a capacity of 10.5 MW under rooftop photo voltaic and small solar power generation programme (RPSSGP).
AP has to be careful to invest in CSP considering the mistake made by Obama Administration that stood guarantor for the CSP project Ivanpah for a financial assistance from bank. Present status of the deal and project is not available in public domain.
