Details of the Power Purchase Agreement
K.P. Energy Limited has signed a definitive Power Purchase Agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for a 100 MW grid-connected wind power project. This project is developed under the company's Independent Power Producer segment and originated from a Letter of Intent issued on March 30, 2026.
The contract was secured through a tariff-based competitive bidding process under GUVNL's Wind Tender Phase X and has received formal approval from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission. The agreement guarantees a fixed tariff of ₹3.435 per unit for 25 years, providing long-term revenue visibility for the company.
