TNEB Limited has invited bids for the selection of developers for setting up of 20 MW of grid connected Rooftop Solar PV Projects on Government Buildings at different locations in Tamil Nadu under RESCO Model on net feed-in mechanism through Tariff Based Competitive Bidding. The tender is open until 7 April 2026, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled in Chennai on 11 March 2026. The bid validity period is 270 days.

The initiative is structured under the Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model, enabling private developers to finance, install and operate rooftop solar assets while supplying power under agreed tariff terms.

It is expected to create opportunities for EPC contractors, solar module suppliers, financing institutions and O&M service providers operating in South India.

TNEB Limited is a state-owned power utility responsible for electricity generation and distribution in Tamil Nadu. For developers and investors, the project signals continued state-level momentum in rooftop solar adoption and competitive tariff discovery through structured bidding frameworks.
