Timeline:
State-run Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd (SECI) had conducted India’s first auction of wind power projects in 2017.
This was a 1,000 MW bid for projects to be connected on ISTS (inter-state transmission system) under which power generated from one state (renewable resource rich state) could be transmitted to other renewable deficient states.
Mytrah, Inox, Ostro, Green Infa and Adani were winners under this auction.
On August 24, 2018, Ostro Kutch Wind Private Ltd commissioned a Wind Power Project (of 126 MW capacity) in Bhuj (Gujarat). Energy generated from this project is being purchased by Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.
