Tata Power, L&T keen to set up rooftop solar projects in Odisha.

At least five companies including Tata Power and engineering major L&T have shown interest to develop rooftop solar power project in Odisha, according to official sources.

The companies have enquired about the request for qualification (RFQ) tender floated by Green Energy Development Company Ltd. (Gedcol), the nodal agency of the state government to develop on grid solar power in the state.

'About 4-5 companies have come, including Tata Power and L&T to discuss about the project details. We have not received any written communication from them so far,' said a senior official of Gedcol.

The rooftop solar energy project would cost around Rs. 50 crore for installing equipment to generate 5 MW power. The Gedcol will be providing the money from loan assistance financed by International Finance Corporation (IFC).
