It emerges that the selection of the successful bidders has been done, and the tariff of the Solar Power Projects has been discovered by the Petitioner, NTPC, through a transparent process of competitive bidding and in accordance with the Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Power, Government of India. Therefore, in terms of Section 63 of the Act, the Commission adopts the individual tariff in terms of the LoAs dated 24.1.2024 for the Solar Power Projects, as agreed to by the successful bidders as under, subject to the Petitioner tying up the balance awarded capacity under the PPAs and PSAs:
In the present case, the distribution licensee, MSEDCL, has agreed to a trading
margin of Rs.0.07/kWh as agreed in the PSA, which is in consonance with
Regulation 8(1)(d) of the Trading License Regulations. For the balance capacity also,
the trading margin shall be as per the provisions of the PSAs to be entered into
between NTPC and the distribution licensees. However, in case of failure by the
NTPC to provide an escrow arrangement or irrevocable, unconditional, and revolving
letter of credit to the solar generators, the trading margin shall be limited to
Rs.0.02/kWh specified in Regulation 8(1)(d) and Regulation 8(1)(f) of the Trading
License Regulations.
