Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA) issued a request for selection to empanel developers to set up 152.75 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar projects on government buildings in the union territory under the renewable energy service company model. Bids must be submitted by December 1, 2025. Bids will be opened on December 2. Bidders, including their parent, affiliate, ultimate parent, or any group company, can only submit a single/separate bid for each project cluster. The maximum capacity for which bidders can quote will depend on the cluster’s tentative projected capacity. The individual project sizes must range from 20 kW to 500 kW. The scope of work entails the survey, design, engineering, financing, installation, and commissioning of the solar projects. It also involves providing operation and maintenance services for the PPA period.
It’s not just big, power-guzzling industries that are shifting to solar; the healthcare sector is also increasingly adopting clean energy sources. Established in 1983, Nair Hospital Dental College, a government hospital under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Mumbai, installed 100 kW of rooftop solar systems, saving approximately ₹1.2 million (~$13,612.6) to ₹1.3 million (~$14,728.5) annually. Gujarat-based rooftop installer Imagine Powertree, which installed the rooftop systems, said the hospital chose to set up the project to save on power costs and pass the savings on to patients.
