<p>The Airport Authority of India (<a href="https://www.aai.aero/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AAI</a>) has issued a tender for the procurement of solar power by Amritsar Airport through open access.</p>
<p>According to the tender documents, Amritsar Airport is looking to procure 1.577 million units of solar power every year for a contract period of 10 years.</p>
<p>Bidders would be selected based on the lowest quoted tariff. The power supplier would be mandated to supply at least 6% of the annual contracted energy. In case the actual energy supplied in any month of a contract year is less than 6% of the annual contracted energy, the seller would be liable to pay the penalty at the rate of 25% of the quoted tariff.</p>
<p>The procurer, according to the tender, is willing to take at least 90% of the contracted energy (minimum offtake guarantee) at the delivery point in each year.</p>
<p>Interested bidders would have to demonstrate a net worth of ₹10 million ($141,070). Further, they would also have to provide experience certificates for the completion of a 1 MW solar energy project.</p>
<p>Each bidder would have to provide bid security of ₹500,000 ($7,053). Moreover, April 4, 2020, is the date of commencement for the supply of power under this project.</p>
<p>The last date of submission of bids for this tender is November 18, 2019.</p>
<p>The AAI, which comes under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is working on the use of sustainable solar power to fuel operations at various facilities across the country.</p>
<p>In September 2019, the AAI <a href="https://mercomindia.com/aai-announces-tender-rooftop-solar-pune-airport/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announced</a> tender for a 100 kW grid-connected rooftop solar project to be installed at Pune Airport’s terminal building.  In the same month, it also <a href="https://mercomindia.com/aai-tender-solar-begumpet-airport-andhra-pradesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">issued</a> a tender for 1 MW of grid-connected solar projects at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad.</p>
<p>AAI had also recently <a href="https://mercomindia.com/aai-floats-tender-raipur-coimbatore-aurangabad-airports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">issued</a> three different Request for Proposals (RfPs) for the procurement of a total of 3.7 MW of solar power through open access for the airports of Raipur, Coimbatore, and Aurangabad.</p>
