8 POWER GENERATION BY SOLAR POWER DEVELOPER
8.1 CRITERIA FOR GENERATION

The Bidders will declare the annual CUF of the Project at the time of submission of response
to RfS, and the SPDs will be allowed to revise the same once within first year of COD.
Thereafter, the CUF for the Project shall remain unchanged for the entire term of the PPA.
The declared annual CUF shall in no case be less than 17%. It shall be the responsibility of
the SPD, entirely at its cost and expense to install such number of Solar panels and
associated equipment (including arrangement of extra Reservoir/land for such installation)
as may be necessary to achieve the required CUF, and for this purpose SPD shall make its
own study and investigation of the GHI and other factors prevalent in the area which have
implication on the quantum of generation. SPD shall maintain generation so as to achieve
annual CUF within + 10% and -15% of the declared value till the end of 10 years from COD,
subject to the annual CUF remaining minimum of 15%, and within +10% and -20% of the
declared value of the annual CUF thereafter till the end of the PPA duration of 25 years.
The lower limit will, however, be relaxable by Electricity department, A&NA to the extent of
non-availability of grid for evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPD. The annual
CUF will be calculated every year from 1st April of the year to 31st March next year.
8.2 SHORTFALL IN GENERATION
This compensation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the
Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be equal to the compensation payable
(including RECs) by the buying utility towards non - meeting of RPOs, which shall ensure
that the buying utility is offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and
supply of power under the PPA, subject to a minimum of 25% (twenty-five per cent) of
the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff.
The amount being equal to the compensation payable by the buying utility for not
meeting RPO is only a measure of damage. It shall not be construed that the
compensation is payable by SPD only if the buying utility are required to pay
compensation for such not meeting of RPO or that the buying utility or the SPD shall be
required to prove or establish such payment of compensation for not meeting the RPO.
SPD shall agree that the methodology specified herein above for calculation of liquidated
damages payable by the SPD for shortfall in generation is a genuine and accurate pre-
estimation of the actual loss that will be suffered by buying utility. SPD shall further
acknowledge that a breach of any of the obligations contained herein result in injuries
and that the amount of the liquidated damages or the method of calculating the liquidated
damages specified in this document is a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the
damages that may be suffered by buying utility in each case specified under this
Agreement.
However, this compensation shall not be applicable in events of Force Majeure identified
under the PPA with buying utility (Electricity department, A&NA), affecting supply of
power by the SPD.
RfS No. Signature

8.3 EXCESS GENERATION
Any excess generation over and above 10% of declared annual CUF will be purchased
by Electricity Department, A&NA at a fixed tariff of 75% (seventy-five percent) of the
PPA tariff, provided Buying utility is able to get any buyer for sale of such excess
generation. However, the SPD shall inform at least 60 days in advance of such excess
generation to buying utility, to enable buying utility to take necessary actions for sale of
this excess generated energy.
Buying utility shall be required to intimate its approval/refusal to the SPD, for buying such
excess generation not later than 1 month of receiving the above offer from the SPD.
While the SPD would be free to install DC solar field as per his design of required output,
including his requirement of auxiliary consumption, he will not be allowed to sell any
excess power to any other entity other than buying utility.
In case at any point of time, the peak of capacity reached is higher than the rated
capacity and causes disturbance in the system at the point where power is injected, the
SPD will have to forego the excess generation and reduce the output to the rated
capacity to ensure compliance with grid requirement.
8.4 OFFTAKE CONSTRAINTS DUE TO TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE/ GRID

UNAVAILABILITY & BACKDOWN
a. Generation Compensation in offtake constraint due to Transmission

Infrastructure not complete/ ready (Transmission constraint): After the scheduled
commissioning date, if the Project is ready in all respects including the dedicated
transmission line to be established by the SPD to connect to the grid, but the necessary
power evacuation/ transmission infrastructure is not ready, for reasons not attributable
to the Solar Power Developer, leading to offtake constraint, the provision for generation
compensation is as follows.
RfS No. Signature

Transmission Constraint Provision for Generation Compensation

If the plant is ready but the a. The normative CUF of 17% (Seventeen
necessary power Percent) or committed CUF, whichever is
evacuation/ transmission lower, for the period of grid unavailability, shall
infrastructure is not ready, be taken for the purpose of calculation of
leading to offtake constraint. generation loss. Corresponding to this
generation loss, the excess generation by the
SPD in the succeeding 03 (Three) Contract
Years, shall be procured by Electricity
Department, A&NA at the PPA tariff so as to
offset this loss.
b. If the transmission delay is directly attributable
to the organization building the transmission
network and some penalty is imposed on him,
then a part of that penalty may be utilized by
Electricity Department, A&NA for
compensating the generation loss.
However, it is clarified that if the project is ready for commissioning prior to the Scheduled
commissioning date, but the offtake is constrained because of inadequate/ incomplete
power evacuation infrastructure, no compensation shall be permissible.
b. Compensation in offtake constraint due to Grid Unavailability: During the operation

of the project, there can be some periods where the project can generate power but due
to temporary transmission unavailability the power is not evacuated, for reasons not
attributable to the Solar Power Developer. In such cases the generation compensation
shall be addressed by Electricity Department, A&NA in following manner:
Duration of Grid unavailability Provision for Generation Compensation
Grid unavailability in a contract Generation Loss = [(Average Generation

year as defined in the PPA: per hour during the Contract Year) ×
(only period from 8 am to 6 pm (number of hours of grid unavailability
to be counted): during the Contract Year)]
Where, Average Generation per hour during

the Contract Year (kWh) = Total generation in
the Contract Year (kWh) ÷ Total hours of
generation in the Contract Year.
The excess generation by the SPD equal to
this generation loss shall be procured by
Electricity Department, A&NA at the PPA tariff
so as to offset this loss in the succeeding 3
(three) Contract Years.
RfS No. Signature

c. Offtake Constraints due to Backdown: The SPD and Buying Entity shall follow the
forecasting and scheduling process as per the regulations in this regard by the CERC.
The Government of India, as per Clause 5.2(u) of the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC),
provides for status of “must-run” to solar power projects. Accordingly, no solar power
plant, duly commissioned, should be directed to back down by a Discom/ Load Dispatch
Centre (LDC). In case such eventuality of Backdown arises, including non-dispatch of
power due to non-compliance with “Order No. 23/22/2019-R&R dated 28.06.2019 of
Ministry of Power regarding Opening and maintaining of adequate Letter of Credit (LC)
as Payment Security Mechanism under Power Purchase Agreements by Distribution
Licensees” and any clarifications or amendment thereto, except for the cases where the
Backdown is on account of events like consideration of grid security or safety of any
equipment or personnel or other such conditions, the SPD shall be eligible for a Minimum
Generation Compensation, from the Procurer, in the manner detailed below.
Duration of Backdown Provision for Generation Compensation

Hours of Backdown during a Minimum Generation Compensation = 100% of
monthly billing cycle. [(Average Generation per hour during the month) ×
(number of backdown hours during the month)]X
PPA Tariff
Where, Average Generation per hour during the month

(kWh) = Total generation in the month (kWh) ÷ Total
hours of generation in the month.
The Generation Compensation is to be paid as part of the energy bill for the successive month
after receipt of Regional Energy Accounts (REA)/SEA/JMR. No Trading Margin shall be
applicable on this Generation Compensation provided under Clause 8.4 c above.
Note: Notwithstanding anything mentioned above, the provisions of Clause 8.4 of the RfS shall
be applicable subject to the acceptance of the same by the respective Buying Utility in the

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS FOR e-TENDERING

AND REVERSE AUCTION
GENERAL
The Special Instructions (for e-Tendering) supplement ‘Instructions to Bidders’, as given in

these Rfs Documents. Submission of Online Bids is mandatory for this RfS.
e-Tendering is a new methodology for conducting Public Procurement in a transparent and

secured manner. Now, the Government of India has made e-Tendering mandatory. Suppliers/
Vendors will be the biggest beneficiaries of this new system of procurement. For conducting
electronic tendering, Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has decided to use the
portal https://www.bharat-electronictender.com through ISN-ETS , a Government of India
Undertaking. This portal is based on the world’s most ‘secure’ and ‘user friendly’ software from
ElectronicTender®. A portal built using ElectronicTender’s software is also referred to as
ElectronicTender System® (ETS).
Benefits to Suppliers are outlined on the Home-page of the portal.

persons who will be the main person coordinating for the e-tendering activities. In ETS
terminology, this person will be referred to as the Super User (SU) of that organization. For
further details, please visit the website/portal, and click on the ‘Supplier Organization’ link under
‘Registration’ (on the Home Page), and follow further instructions as given on the site. Pay

Some Bidding Related Information for this Tender (Sealed Bid)
The entire bid-submission would be online on ETS (unless specified for Offline Submissions).
Broad outline of submissions are as follows:
 Submission of Bid-Parts
 Envelope I (Technical-Bid)
 Envelope II (Financial-Bid)
 Submission of digitally signed copy of Tender Documents/ Addendum
In addition to the above, the bidders are required to submit certain documents physically offline
also as per Clause No. 24.a, Section-II, ITB of RfS Documents, failing which the technical bids
will not be opened.
Note: The Bidder should also upload the scanned copies of all the above mentioned original
documents as Bid-Annexures during Online Bid-Submission.
SPECIAL NOTE ON SECURITY AND TRANSPARENCY OF BIDS
Security related functionality has been rigorously implemented in ETS in a multidimensional

manner. Starting with 'Acceptance of Registration by the Service Provider', provision for security
has been made at various stages in ElectronicTender's software. Specifically, for Bid
Submission, some security related aspects are outlined below:
As part of the ElectronicEncrypter™ functionality, the contents of both the ‘ElectronicForms’ and
the ‘Main-Bid’ are securely encrypted using a Pass-Phrase created by the Bidder himself. Unlike
a ‘password’, a Pass-Phrase can be a multi-word sentence with spaces between words (e.g. I
love this World). A Pass-Phrase is easier to remember, and more difficult to break. It is
mandatory that a separate Pass-Phrase be created for each Bid-Part. This method of
bidencryption does not have the security and data-integrity related vulnerabilities which are
inherent in e-tendering systems which use Public-Key of the specified officer of a Buyer
organization for bid-encryption. Bid-encryption in ETS is such that the Bids cannot be decrypted
before the Public Online Tender Opening Event (TOE), even if there is connivance between the
concerned tender-opening officers of the Buyer organization and the personnel of e-tendering
service provider.
CAUTION: All bidders must fill ElectronicForms™ for each bid-part sincerely and carefully, and
avoid any discrepancy between information given in the ElectronicForms™ and the
corresponding Main-Bid. For transparency, the information submitted by a bidder in the
ElectronicForms® is made available to other bidders during the Online Public TOE. If it is found
during the Online Public TOE that a bidder has not filled in the complete information in the
ElectronicForms™, the TOE officer may make available for downloading the corresponding
Main-Bid of that bidder at the risk of the bidder. If variation is noted between the information
contained in the ElectronicForms™ and the ‘Main-Bid’, the contents of the
ElectronicForms™ shall prevail.
In case of any discrepancy between the values mentioned in figures and in words, the value
mentioned in words will prevail.
The bidder shall make sure that the Pass-Phrase to decrypt the relevant Bid-Part is
submitted into the ‘Time Locked Electronic Key Box (EKB)’ after the deadline of Bid
Submission, and before the commencement of the Online TOE of Technical Bid. The
process of submission of this Pass-Phrase in the ‘Time Locked Electronic Key Box’ is done in
a secure manner by first encrypting this Pass-Phrase with the designated keys provided by the
SECI.
Additionally, the bidder shall make sure that the Pass-Phrase to decrypt the relevant Bid-Part
is submitted to SECI in a sealed envelope before the start date and time of the Tender Opening
Event (TOE).
There is an additional protection with SSL Encryption during transit from the client-end computer
of a Supplier organization to the e-Tendering Server/ Portal.
OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
For further instructions, the vendor should visit the home-page of the portal https://www.bharat-
electronictender.com , and go to the User-Guidance Center
The help information provided through ‘ETS User-Guidance Center’ is available in three
categories – Users intending to Register/ First-Time Users, Logged-in users of Buyer
organizations, and Logged-in users of Supplier organizations. Various links (including links for
User Manuals) are provided under each of the three categories.
Important Note: It is strongly recommended that all authorized users of Supplier organizations
should thoroughly peruse the information provided under the relevant links, and take
appropriate action. This will prevent hiccups, and minimize teething problems during the use of
ETS.
SEVEN CRITICAL DO’S AND DON’TS FOR BIDDERS
Specifically, for Supplier organizations, the following 'SEVEN KEY INSTRUCTIONS for
BIDDERS' must be assiduously adhered to:
1. Obtain individual Digital Signing Certificate (DSC or DC) of Class II or above well in
advance of your tender submission deadline on ETS.
2. Register your organization on ETS well in advance of the important deadlines for your
first tender on ETS viz ‘Date and Time of Closure of Procurement of Tender Documents’
and ‘Last Date and Time of Receipt of Bids’. Please note that even after acceptance of
your registration by the Service Provider, to respond to a tender you will also require
time to complete activities related to your organization, such as creation of -- Marketing
Authority (MA) [ie a department within the Supplier/ Bidder Organization responsible for
responding to tenders], users for one or more such MAs, assigning roles to them, etc. It
is mandatory to create at least one MA. This unique feature of creating an MA enhances
security and accountability within the Supplier/ Bidder Organization.
3. Get your organization's concerned executives trained on ETS well in advance of your
first tender submission deadline on ETS
4. For responding to any particular tender, the tender (ie its Tender Search Code or TSC)
has to be assigned to an MA. Further, an ‘Official Copy of Tender Documents’ should
be procured/ downloaded before the expiry of Date and Time of Closure of Procurement
of Tender Documents. Note: Official copy of Tender Documents is distinct from
downloading ‘Free Copy of Tender Documents’. Official copy of Tender Documents is
the equivalent of procuring physical copy of Tender Documents with official receipt in
the paper-based manual tendering system.
5. Submit your bids well in advance of tender submission deadline on ETS (There could
be last minute problems due to internet timeout, breakdown, et al)
6. It is the responsibility of each bidder to remember and securely store the Pass-Phrase
for each Bid-Part submitted by that bidder. In the event of a bidder forgetting the
PassPhrase before the expiry of deadline for Bid-Submission, facility is provided to the
bidder to ‘Annul Previous Submission’ from the Bid-Submission Overview page and start
afresh with new Pass-Phrase(s)
7. ETS will make your bid available for opening during the Online Public Tender Opening
Event (TOE) ‘ONLY IF’ your ‘Status pertaining Overall Bid-Submission’ is ‘Complete’.
For your record, you can generate and save a copy of ‘Final Submission Receipt’. This
receipt can be generated from 'Bid-Submission Overview Page' only if the ‘Status
pertaining overall Bid-Submission’ is ‘Complete’.
NOTE:
While the first three instructions mentioned above are especially relevant to first-time users of
ETS, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh instructions are relevant at all times.
ADDITIONAL DO’S AND DON’TS FOR BIDDERS PARTICIPATING IN e-REVERSE

processes on ETS well in advance of the start of e-ReverseAuction.
2. For responding to any particular e-ReverseAuction, the e-ReverseAuction (ie its Reverse
Auction Search Code or RASC) has to be assigned to an MA.
3. It is important for each bidder to thoroughly read the ‘rules and related criterion’ for the

4. It is important to digitally-sign your ‘Final bid’ after the end of e-ReverseAuction bidding
