					</table><p>Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA) <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/jakeda-issues-empanelment-tender-for-153-mw-rooftop-solar-projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a request for selection to empanel developers to set up 152.75 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar projects on government buildings in the union territory under the renewable energy service company model. Bids must be submitted by December 1, 2025. Bids will be opened on December 2. Bidders, including their parent, affiliate, ultimate parent, or any group company, can only submit a single/separate bid for each project cluster. The maximum capacity for which bidders can quote will depend on the cluster’s tentative projected capacity. The individual project sizes must range from 20 kW to 500 kW. The scope of work entails the survey, design, engineering, financing, installation, and commissioning of the solar projects. It also involves providing operation and maintenance services for the PPA period.</p>
