1. INTRODUCTION
i) RFP - This Request for Proposal (RFP) Document is
prepared for inviting e-bids for development of Power
Generation / Bio CNG from Biogas plant on BOO basis
from the cattle dung at Tajpur Dairy Complex, Ludhiana.
The bids are being invited for installing Biogas power/
Bio CNG Plant as per decision of the Government as
stipulated in the Minutes of Meeting dated 28.5.2014
held under the chairmanship of Hon’ble Chief Minister
Punjab (Item 1.4) circulated by Punjab Pollutiion
Control Board vide letter no. 33998 dated 26.7.2014 and
Minutes of Meeting dated 1.7.2014 Item 1(iv) held under
the chairmanship of Hon’ble Chief Minister Punjab
circulated vide Punjab Pollution Contorl Board letter no.
31089-102 dated 10.7.2014. Being the NRSE Project,
the State NRSE Policy notified by the State Government
vide notification no. 10/174/2012/STE(3)/4725 dated
December 26, 2012 is applicable on this project also.
ii) Project - Tajpur Diary Complex, Tajpur road
Ludhiana.
Tajpur Dairy Complex is situated on Ludhiana
Tajpur road in Ludhiana city. 220 dairies are in
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 13
existence having total cattle population of 18698
as on date as intimated by Dairy Complex
Association, Tajpur Road, Ludhiana vide letter
dated 10.10.2014 (Annexure-6). About 250
metric ton of cattle dung per day is available from
the available cattle population as on date. Land
measuring 2.50 acre shall be provided by Greater
Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA)
on long term token lease basis in Sector-32
Samrala road near Tajpur Dairy Complex to
PEDA which will be subsequently sub leased to
successful Bidder/Developer for setting up this
Biogas Power / BIO CNG project.
iii) Need for the Project in Tajpur Dairy Complex. –
Currently most of the dairies dump their dung on the
roads where it lies in open there and some of the big
dairies are washing out the dung and urine washing into
the Budha Nallah which in turn discharges into Satluj
river. As described above these discharge carry an
appreciable organic load and would only results in the
deterioration of the river water quality apart from
releasing methane in the atmosphere. Such type of
discharge into the drain is against the pollution norms
and highly objectionable which require’s scientific
disposal of the same.
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 14
iv) The objectives of the Bio Power Generation Plant /
Bio CNG from Biogas Plant are to:
a) Ensure environmentally safe disposal of cattle excreta
from dairies and prevent degradation of soil and
pollution of water.
b) Produce electricity / Bio CNG from the cattle excreta
generated in the dairies.
c) If feasible, use such other biomass as is available in the
nearby area and is suitable for use in combination with
cattle excreta for the production of electricity / Bio CNG
with the condition that firstly entire cattle excreta is to
be used of the Tajpur Dairy Complex to the plant
capacity and if not sufficient to run the plant at its
designed capacity then can be arranged from outside.
d) If feasible, use heat energy in industry as it will be
produced alongside electricity.
e) To produce, as a by product, organic manure for use in
agriculture
Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA)
Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) under the Deptt. of
Non-Conventional Energy Sources(NCES), Govt. of Punjab, is a
Nodal Agency for propagating the objectives of New and
Renewable Sources of Energy in the State of Punjab including
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 15
Solar, Mini hydro, Biomass / Agro - waste / cattle dung based Power
Plant / Bio CNG Power Plant. PEDA has undertaken various
programmes for the promotion and popularization of these sources.
Comprehensive studies undertaken by PEDA have led to the
identification of various potential sources of energy. Within a short
span, PEDA has made headway in the following fields:
Power generation from small hydro’s
Biomass / Bagasse Cogeneration
Power generation from Biomass / agro-residue
Power generation from solar energy
Power generation / Bio CNG from Urban & Municipal Waste
Solar Photovoltaic systems
Energy Conservation in various user sectors
Solar Passive Architecture
With the purpose to exploit the energy potential from Cattle dung
and to reduce the pollution, PEDA float the Expression of Interest
to invites the private developers / companies to set up Biogas
based Power Generation / Bio CNG Plant from the cattle dung at
Tajpur Dairy Complex, Ludhiana.
1.1 WASTE TO ENERGY
The increasing industrialization, urbanization and changes in the
pattern of life, which accompany the process of economic growth,
give rise to generation of increasing quantities of wastes leading to
increased threats to the environment. In recent years, technologies
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 16
have been developed that not only help in generating substantial
quantity of decentralized energy but also in reducing the quantity of
waste for its safe disposal.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy(MNRE), Govt. of India, is
promoting all the Technology Options available for setting up
projects for recovery of energy from urban wastes. In developed
countries, environmental concerns rather than energy recovery is
the prime motivator for waste-to-energy facilities, which help in
treating and disposing of wastes. Energy in the form of biogas, heat
or power is seen as a bonus, which improves the viability of such
projects. While incineration and biomethanation are the most
common technologies, pyrolysis and gasification are also emerging
as preferred options. A common feature in most developed
countries is that the entire waste management system is being
handled as a profitable venture by private industry or non-
government organizations with tipping fee for treatment of waste
being one of the major revenue streams. The major Advantages for
adopting technologies for recovery of energy from urban wastes is
to reduce the quantity of waste and net reduction in environmental
pollution, besides generation of substantial quantity of energy.
1.2 Background:
PEDA’s Biogas Power Project at Haibowal Dairy Comlex, Ludhiana.
Some facts of the first plant established in Punjab at the Dairy
Complex at Haebowal in Ludhiana are provided here. It is not to
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 17
limit in any way the choice of the bidder in making the assessment
of the source of energy, apart from dairy dung, such as other
wastes from mandis, that can be used jointly with the cattle dung, in
selecting the technology or the components or their specifications to
be adopted or power generation potential/Bio CNG from Biogas

STATE NRSE POLICY-2012
GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENVIRONMENT AND NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
Notification
The 26th DECEMBER, 2012
No. 10/174/2012/STE(3)/4725 -The Governor of Punjab is pleased to
formulate a 'New and Renewable Sources of Energy (NRSE) Policy –
2012’, to develop and promote new and renewable sources of energy
based technologies and energy conservation measures as well as
providing financial & fiscal assistance, thereby addressing the problems
arising from depletion of conventional sources of energy and environment
pollution. This policy shall replace and supersede the previous policy
notified vide No. 10/106/2006-STE (1)/5390 dt. 24th November, 2006,
unless specifically stated otherwise hereunder.The Policy would be
effective from the date of its notification in the official gazette of Punjab
Government and shall remain in operation till the Government notifies the
new policy. For giving effect to this policy, necessary amendments in
variouspolicies, rules & regulations, wherever necessary, shall be
expeditiously undertaken by the concerned departments.
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 134
1. OBJECTIVES
1.1 Punjab has considerable potential in NRSE sector which is being
harnessed. With a view to maximize the utilization of these
resources; this policy aims to achieve the following objectives:
To maximise and improve the share of new and renewable
sources of energy to 10% of the total installed power capacity in
the state by 2022. NRSE sector wise details are mentioned
separately.
To promote renewable energy initiatives for meeting energy /
lighting needs in rural areas and supplementing energy needs in
urban, industrial and commercial sectors.
1.2 Further, in order to achieve the aforesaid objectives, the following
shall bethe major strategic initiatives :-
To create conducive conditions for attracting private sector
investment in NRSE projects along with broader participation by
public community/civil society.
To provide decentralized renewable energy for agriculture, industry,
commercial and household sector particularly in rural areas thereby
improving the quality of power and reducing transmission &
distribution losses.
To give support to specific NRSE projects and schemes for
generating energy and conserving energy through energy efficiency.
To support research and development, demonstration and
commercialization of new and emerging technologies in renewable
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 135
energy sector such as fuel cell, hydrogen and chemical energy,
alternate fuels for transportation etc.
2. NRSE THRUST AREAS
2.1 NRSE are defined as Small hydro upto 25MW, Biomass including
Co-generation, Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Thermal, Urban, Municipal
and Industrial solid / liquid Wastes, Biomethanation, Gasification,
Wind and New NRSE sources like fuel cells/Hydrogen/Biofuels etc. of
any capacity. This form of energy would mitigate carbon dioxide
emissions and combat climate change. Given the geographical
location of the State of Punjab, and its access to various sources of
energy, the State would promote investment through private/public
sector participation in the following areas:
2.2 Small/ Mini / Micro Hydel:
By virtue of its topographic location and agriculture base, the State
has an extensive irrigation canal network with estimated total
potential of over 250 MW. The State Government is committed to
exploit the total potential by the year 2022.
2.3 Biomass/Agro residue:
Punjab is primarily an agrarian economy and holds tremendous
potential for energy generation from agro- residues like Cotton stalks,
Paddy Straw, Paddy Husk etc. It is proposed to achieve a target of
600 MW power generation in this sector by 2022.
Also the existing industries like Sugar, Paper and others have still an
estimated unexploited potential of about 500MW of co-generation.
Details are placed at Annexure-1A.
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 137
2.4 Urban, Municipal and Industrial Liquid / Solid Waste:
At present about 5000 Metric Tons of Municipal, Urban and Industrial
solid waste is being produced every day in the urban areas of the
State. Introducing scientific processing and treatment of this quantity
of waste would add to power generation besides being
environmentally benign. Such projects shall be supported on different
waste streams in the State. It is proposed to achieve a target of 50
MW power generation in this sector by 2022.
2.5 Solar Power generation:
Punjab is endowed with vast potential of solar energy with over 300
days of sunshine in a year with insolation level varying between 4-7
Kw/sq.mtr. Solar Power Generation capacity is targeted at 1000MW
by 2022.With these projects located closer to the load in
distribution/transmission network, distribution losses will be reduced
considerably and voltage drop at peak day time load will be
minimized. Details are placed at Annexure-1B.
2.6 Wind Power :
Wind power potential is low in the State as the necessary wind
speedis not there. The state will support programmes to set up
innovative technology based wind turbines.
2.7 Upcoming NRSE technology based projects:
Lot of research is going on around the world for efficient and
economic transformation of available renewable sources of energy
for usage by the society. Fuel cells, Hydrogen energy, geothermal
energy, Bio fuels, Bio-ethanol etc. have great potential of becoming
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 138
commercial RE technologies. Pilot, demonstration & commercial
projects in these upcoming NRSE technology sector shall be
encouraged to be set up in the state by PEDA. In addition PEDA
shall take up R&D projects in the Biomass especially paddy straw
combustion for power generation through Rankin cycle/gasification in
pilot mode.GIS mapping shall be carried out for land, biomass and
solar radiation and made available to project developers for project
facilitation. PEDA shall also carry out Power transmission/distribution
grid network study on 132/66 KV substations for assessing the
location suitability of RE projects for max grid/power benefits in terms
of voltage improvement, reduction in transmission/distribution losses,
evacuation infrastructure/support and decentralized power supply.
2.8 Promotion of Green Technologies:
PEDA shall facilitate and promote the green technologies in the state
for furthering the economic and industrial development. Technologies
such as Electric Vehicles, Compressed Biogas for Transportation,
Green battery technologies, energy efficient, carbon neutral building
technologies shall be promoted.
3. ENERGY CONSERVATION
Conservation of energy in domestic, commercial, agriculture,
transportation and industrial sectors can lead to major savings in
terms of reduced energy consumption thereby leading to bridge the
energy demand supply gap in the state. There is a potential of saving
of energy upto 20-25% in different sectors of the economy in the
state. Energy Conservation Measures shall be implemented and
enforced in the state in accordance with the provisions contained in
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 139

Page 143
proposal after considering the financial capability, technical capability,
status of technical collaboration with proven technology suppliers,
status of land identification and its availability etc.
5. RE Tariff
The NRSE projects shall be provided tariff for sale of power as per
PSERC RE tariff orders and shall be governed by RE regulations.
5.1 The preferential tariff of sale of power to the PSPCL/licensee from
NRSE projects to be set up under this Policy shall be as notified by
the PSERCfor the financial year in which PPA is signed but shall be
revised as per tariff notified for the financial year in which the
scheduled date of commissioning of the project falls except in case of
Solar PV and Solar Thermal power projects in which the tariff
applicability is for two years and three years respectively inclusive of
the Financial year in which PPA is signed in accordance with the
CERC RE regulations. Likewise, in case of NRSEprojects allocated
through tariff based competitive bidding / discount on preferential
tariff, the tariff arrived after competitive bidding / discounted tariff
shall be applicable in accordance with CERC RE regulations.
5.2 The developer in technologies/resources where tariff has not been
notified by the PSERC shall be required to submit petition to the
Commission for determination of tariff.
5.3 To maximize the availability of NRSE Power for PSPCL/LICENSEE
and to meet its RPO, NRSE based captive / co-gen power projects
setup and commissioned during the period of NRSE Policy-2006
having surplus power and not registered with PEDA so far or not
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 144
signed the Implementation agreement will be allowed to get
themselves registered with PEDA and to sign agreement to facilitate
power purchase by PSPCL/LICENSEE. PSPCL will sign only long
term PPA with such registered projects on the last escalated tariff of
NRSE Policy-2006 payable for FY 2011-12.
5.4 As per Power Purchase Agreements signed with PSEB (now
PSPCL) by IPP Biomass/Biogas power projects allocated by PEDA
& set-up during the period of NRSE Policy 2001,the tariff has
become stagnant at Rs. 3.49 per unit since2006. The generic tariff
as per RE tariff regulation 2012 notified by CERC and adopted
by PSERC for biomass power projects allows 5% annual rise
in the fuel cost for the tariff period from the date of commissioning.
Therefore to enable these projects to continue generation, the tariff
for these projects will be re-determined by PSERC for the remaining
period of PPA.
5.5 No parallel operation charges shall be levied on NRSE projects.

ANNEXURE-I A
BIOMASS POWER GENERATION
a) Biomass IPP Project: Punjab agriculture is dominated by wheat
paddy cycle producing more than 10 million tons of paddy straw. Unlike
the past, where these were burnt in the fields, crop residue would now
contribute to farmer’s income and also lead to power generation. It is
estimated that huge quantities of surplus agro residues (including rice
straw) and agro industrial/processing waste is produced annually which
can generate de-centralized power of more than 600 MW. The State
Government is committed to support and facilitate harnessing the total
potential by the year 2022.
b) Energy Plantations based small capacity biomass plants:
Punjab has some tracts of degraded/waste lands and non-forest areas.
This could be used for raising dedicated plantations of fast growing high
yielding plant species such as Bambusa balcooa, melia dubia etc.
Lantana which is available in forest areas shall be encouraged for use as
biomass in such projects. These small capacity projects up to 2 MW can
be set up in technology neutral mode i.e. Rankin cycle, Gasification cycle
or Otto cycle.
c) Rice mills integrated small capacity Biomass Plants: Presently
very low pressure non-efficient boilers, based on obsolete technologies
are used in rice mills for parboiling/process steam requirements. There is
untapped potential of surplus power generation which can be realized by
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
Page 150
promoting the setting up of small high pressure boilers based biomass
plants with higher plant efficiency. Rice mills integrated small capacity
Biomass Plants in IPP mode up to 5 MW capacity shall be allowed to be
setup with due approval of PEDA with the condition that at least 25% of
the biomass used has to be rice straw. A rice mill of 4 TPH cap. shall be
allowed to set up a 1 MW cap. Biomass plant and rice mill of 20 TPH and
above shall be allowed to set up a 5MW cap. Biomass plant.These small
capacity projects can be set up in technology neutral mode i.e. Rankin
cycle, Gasification cycle or Otto cycle& will not infringe upon the
command area of the biomass IPP projects.
d) Co-generation: The State of Punjab has an established industrial
base which is expanding , Co-gen plants have proved to be highly
beneficial for the industry. The sugar, paper, fertilizer, chemical, textile
and other industries are still having an estimated combined potential of
500 MW, which is still to be realized. It is proposed to encourage the
industry to set up co-gen plants and achieve capacity addition of 500 MW
by 2022. These projects shall meet the qualifying criteria under topping
cycle as per CERC regulations.
Cogeneration projects under bottoming cycle or based on back pressure
turbines and tri-generation projects utilizing the waste heat for
heating/cooling/chilling purposes shall also be encouraged.

ANNEXURE-1B
SOLAR POWER GENERATION
Solar energy would mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change.
Rooftop projects shall be promoted in all sectors including Govt. buildings
in order to enhance the share of solar power in the state. PEDA will
implement MNRE,GOI scheme which provides 30% capital subsidy for
Stand alone rooftop SPV systems. PEDA shall also undertake a solar
rooftop programme in the state for the domestic, industrial and
commercial sectors through Grid interconnectivity by deploying net
metering / sale of power to PSPCL/LICENSEE.
PEDA shall facilitate bundled power scheme of MNRE, IREDA and NVVN
allocated MW scale solar power projects under JNNSM.Solar IPP projects
(MW Scale) shall be promoted under this policy.
REC based Solar projects will be encouraged where the Solar PV and
Solar Thermal IPP projects will be bid out competitively based on the
share of REC revenue.The power can be sold on APPC/Open Access
and proponent can claim REC for trading in power exchange . However,
PSPCL/LICENSEE shall retain the first right of refusal to such NRSE
power and in case of refusal, the developer can sell power under open
access.
Punjab State will also promote decentralized and off-grid solar
applications, including hybrid system as per guidelines issued by MNRE
to meet various electrical and thermal energy requirements. Some of the
major applications of solar thermal technologies include solar water
heaters, solar cooling systems, air drying, steam cooking, power
Hydel/tajpur 2015 April/DNIT-Tajpur
