For its draught tender on leasing out seabed regions for a 4 gigawatt (GW) equivalent offshore wind capacity project off the coast of Tamil Nadu, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has requested ideas.
The sea bed, which comprises the expressly designated offshore wind sub-blocks B1, B2, B3, B4, and G1 off the coast of Tamil Nadu in the Gulf of Mannar, is being offered for lease by the government for the current fiscal year.
By November 28, interested parties and stakeholders may submit their comments on the plan.
“Selection of offshore wind power developers (OWPD) for leasing of sea-bed areas equivalent to 4,000 megawatt (MW) of offshore wind power projects off the coast of Tamil Nadu through International Competitive Bidding,” the request for selection (RfS) document floated by the Ministry said.
