Azure Power is set to sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) with SECI to supply power at a tariff of Rs2.53 (US 3.9 cents) per kWh for a period of 25 years.

With this new win, the company’s total portfolio is spread across 23 states in the country with nearly 80% of its operating or committed projects with counterparties.

Proposed for development outside a solar park anywhere in India, the project is expected to be commissioned by 2020.

Established in 2008, Azure Power is engaged in the development and construction of solar projects of varying sizes, ranging from utility-scale to microgrids.

The company constructed India’s first private utility-scale solar PV power plant in 2009, and implemented the first MW scale rooftop project under the smart city initiative in 2013.
