Recently, REMCL, on behalf of Indian Railways, invited bids to procure 1 GW of round-the-clock  power from grid-connected renewable power projects with or without storage across India for 25 years. The projects will be developed on a build, own, and operate basis.

Earlier, Sembcorp Green Infra Wind Energy had won REMCL’s auction to procure 50 MW of wind power. The tariff-based bidding was held for the power consumption of Railways for traction in Maharashtra.
