UJVN’s Pathri 16 MW/40 MWh BESS tender quietly shifts reliability and subsidy-risk onto the developer
UJVN’s Pathri tender covers setting up a 16 MW/40 MWh standalone BESS near the Pathri 66/11 kV sub-station in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
This is a developer-style procurement on BOOT basis, supported by VGF through PSDF.
The developer must guarantee 95% annual availability, with LD tied to twice the capacity charges.
Land is provided on a right-to-use basis, but approvals such as forest clearances remain with the developer.
VGF is released in tranches with PBG conditions, shifting liquidity risk.
A notable anomaly is the tender fee mismatch: RfP cost Rs 5,000 + GST versus portal tender fee Rs 4,77,900.
