\"\"<\/a>The levelised solar power tariff has dropped to all time low of Rs 3.15 per unit in an auction of a 250 MW project at Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

Earlier in February, the lower capital expenditure and cheaper credit had pulled down solar tariff to a new low of Rs 2.97 per unit for the first year in an auction conducted for 750 MW capacity in Rewa Solar Park in Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n

However, the levelised tariff for Rewa project worked out to be Rs 3.30 per unit.<\/p>\n

“The price bid opened and reverse auction carried out for 250 MW (1×250) solar project at Kadapa in AP under developer mode. Solairdirect has won this project with quoted levelised tariff of Rs 3.15\/KWh,” a senior official said.<\/p>\n

The official said, “Rewa Ultra Mega Solar record of levelised tariff is RS 3.30 which has been broken by NTPC auction today.”<\/p>\n

Commenting on this Power Minister Piyush Goyal has tweeted, “Clean affordable power for all: Solar achieves another record low of Rs 3.15\/ unit (flat rate) during auction in Kadapa, AP by NTPC.”<\/p>\n

In Januray last year, solar power tariff had dropped to a new low, with Finland-based energy firm Fortum Finnsurya Energy quoting Rs 4.34 a unit to bag the mandate to set up a 70-MW solar plant under NTPC’s Bhadla Solar Park tender.<\/p>\n

In November 2015, the tariff had touched Rs 4.63 per unit following aggressive bidding by US-based SunEdison, the world’s biggest developer of renewable energy power plants.<\/p>\n
