The successful bidder must set up solar projects connected to the ISTS. The selected project developers should identify suitable land, install and own the project, and secure connectivity and requisite approvals for interconnection with the ISTS. 

The project design must include interconnection with the ISTS or InSTS in compliance with Central Electricity Regulatory Commission regulations.

About ISTS

The Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) is a crucial part of India's electricity infrastructure. It's a network of high-voltage power lines that allow for the transmission of electricity across state boundaries.  

ISTS enables regions with abundant energy resources, like hydroelectric dams in the Himalayas or wind farms in coastal areas, to share their surplus electricity with states facing deficits. Some of the upcoming ISTS-linked projects include:

• 3,000 MW ISTS-linked Energy Storage Projects by NTPC REL
• KP Energy's 464 MW Wind Projects in Gujarat

About SECI

SECI was established in 2011 to facilitate and accelerate the development of solar energy in India. It plays a crucial role in promoting solar power projects, implementing government policies, and fostering research and development in the solar sector.
