UPNEDA Seeks Vendors To Identify Govt Building For Solarization

The Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) has issued a tender for the empanelment of vendors to identify government buildings for solarisation. The deadline for submissions is April 25, 2025.

The state nodal agency said the empanelment will cover state government buildings with a sanctioned load of 25 kW or more. The move follows the state government’s decision to solarise all such buildings.

Survey in 75 districts 

The scope of work includes preparing feasibility reports and evaluating the potential for grid-connected solar rooftop installations across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh.

“As part of this effort, UPNEDA intends to empanel a qualified Agency to carry out a comprehensive survey, including identification, feasibility analysis, and evaluation of the solar rooftop potential for the Government Buildings across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh,” the UPNEDA tender said.

Detailed Feasibility Study 

It added, “The Agency will be tasked with identifying government buildings suitable for solar energy systems, preparing detailed feasibility reports, and assessing the viability of installing Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) systems on these buildings in accordance with the UPERC RSPV Regulations 2019 and its subsequent amendments.”

The agency will be responsible for identifying and documenting all state government buildings across each district, city, tehsil, block, and village in Uttar Pradesh. If required to assess the solar potential of structures other than government buildings, further instructions will be issued by UPNEDA, it said.

On-Site Surveys With Technology 

“The Agency will conduct thorough on-site surveys of each identified building to assess its solar energy potential. This will include gathering data (but not limited to) about the name of the building, name of the department, name of district/city/tehsil/block/village, building’s total roof space, roof space feasible for solar plant, orientation, shadow analysis, 2D colored super imposed solar potential area (shadow/obstacle free), age of the building, structural capacity of the building to withstand solar installation, coordinates of the building, geotagged photos of the building roof along with the timestamp, electricity connection number, name of the DISCOM, sanctioned load, electricity consumption, load requirements, grid connectivity,” it said.
