Solar engineering, procurement, and construction company Enerture Technologies has won a contract from the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) to set up a 3.5 MW captive solar photovoltaic project at its campus.

The award contract value was ₹152.73 million (~$1.8 million).

Enerture must submit a performance guarantee of ₹7.27 million (~$85,663) by December 26, 2024.

The scope of work includes planning, design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning the project within 12 months of receiving the letter of award. Enerture must oversee the project’s operation and maintenance for five years.

The project aims to maximize clean energy generation and energy savings for IIT Hyderabad. Potential locations for installation include existing parking areas, an elevated installation along the campus cycle track, and other plazas and ground-based areas.

The tender was floated in July this year.

IITH currently houses a 0.95 MW grid-connected solar project, which will be converted to captive use along with the tendered 3.5 MW project. The institute’s monthly energy consumption ranges from 1 million kWh to 3.5 million kWh.

Recently, Enerture Technologies was selected by Coal India to commission two grid-connected solar power projects with a cumulative capacity of 13 MW. The 10 MW project will be located near the Purnadih coal mine, and the 3 MW project will be near the Churi coal mine in Jharkhand.

In February, Enerture Technologies won the Chandigarh Renewable Energy and Science & Technology Promotion Society’s tender to build and operate grid-connected rooftop solar projects on government-owned residential buildings.

In April last year, Enerture Technologies won the project management consultancy contract to implement a 110 MW solar project in group captive mode for the Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation.
