Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation (HPPCL) has initiated a tender for the empanelment of survey agencies to conduct detailed topographical surveys for upcoming solar power project sites across various districts of Himachal Pradesh.
The deadline for bid submissions is set for January 1, 2024, with a mandatory empanelment fee of INR 5,000, valid for three years for prospective bidders.
As part of the World Bank-funded ‘Himachal Power Sector Development Program,’ HPPCL is actively working towards implementing 200 MW solar capacity in the state. Additionally, the state government has entrusted HPPCL with an additional target of developing 200 MW solar capacity projects.
Potential solar sites have been identified in districts such as Una, Kangra, Hamirpur, and Bilaspur, as well as in the vicinity of existing operational HPPCL projects. The corporation is also exploring solar power project sites in other districts of Himachal Pradesh.
The scope of work for the selected survey agencies includes comprehensive topographical surveys of solar project sites and their surrounding areas. This involves assessing aspects such as real estate, infrastructure, and forest cover across various districts.
To be eligible, bidders must have completed a minimum of 15 survey projects utilizing either a differential global positioning system (DGPS) or total station over the past three years. Out of these projects, at least five should be situated in hilly areas. Additionally, bidders must possess at least two DGPS or total station survey instruments.
The topographical surveys play a crucial role in identifying suitable sites and laying the groundwork for the successful implementation of solar power projects.
