AP Transco released details of the bids for the 1000 MW of solar power purchase in AP. I am presenting the first level data and analysis. More will follow. My special thanks to Niroj Mohanty of Core CarbonX for sending these over. (some good stuff also available at efficient carbon blog)
Some analysis done by our resident, self-proclaimed analytics expert Venugopal Sampathkumar
1. Total L1 Bid Capacity: 416 MW
.
2. Weighted Average L1 Bid Price: Rs 7.96/kWh
.
3. Average L1 Bidding capacity: 4.38 MW
.
Our specialty focus areas include 
4. Capacity Remaining at locations that have been offered by APTRANSCO: 289 MW (Evacuation Space available in these locations)
.
5. Locations from the above, where L1 price>Average L1 Bid price: The list below can hence be considered attractive Bid locations for L2/L3 guys as and when APTRANSCO calls for negotiations

What can we thus expect to be the total capacity signed up?
It is a fair bet to assume all L1 will be signed up; beyond this, let’s say 80% of the guys in L2 but in locations where L1 is greater than average L1 sign up (and capacity is available) sign up, and 20% of L2 in locations with capacity but where L1 is less than average L1 sign up. We thus land up with the following expected capacity sign up
Over 416 (L1 Capacity) + 125 (80% of 156) + 27 (20% of 133) = 568 MW, say 570 MW anticipated to be signed up

Dear Sir ,
There are some omissions
oripro bids for kalwakurhy at 7.99
Gajapathi nagaram at 8.30
and ponduru under chilalaka palem at 8.30 are missing
please correct it
@raghav – I will check and revert, thanks
Good, Keep sharing such important happenings.
Thanks for sharing the important information. keep it up!
There seems to be obviously something fishy with respect to the late openers, they were not listed in the initial bidders lists and from nowhere they have surfaced at the last and to me it seems they had access to the figures and between three of them, manipulated very meticulously to show that they are not the lowest at all the locations. There seems to be some collaboration between many entities to make these three enter lately and run away with the bids.
Tesla
ACM Tele – these two seem to have manipulated the system.
Please explain L1 process for selection process in solar?
Please let me know the available location for bid and the procedure to participate.
i would request if you can send me the details of the solar pv project for MW
