Following the RFP state, an RFP will be issued to prequalified bidders, who may be invited to attend one or more bidders’ conference and organized site visits before the submission of final proposals.

The winning bidder will need to build an HV system as part of the solar power plant that includes the step-up transformers to 220kV. The system will remain part of the power plant throughout the term of the PPA.
