Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has floated an e-tender for setting up of 2 MW Alternative Current (AC) solar power project at Kaza subdivision of Lahaul and Spiti district in Himachal Pradesh.

Also, the tender for the grid connected solar power project includes the installation of 1 MWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for the storage of power generated.

Kaza subdivision is the largest township and commercial center in the valley. It has a significant proximity with the Sun owing to its altitude i.e. 3,650 meters.

The town gets ample sunlight round the year and has a considerable power consumption that calls for a solar power plant.
