About Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency
Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency, headquartered at Vidyut Bhawan, Patna, is the state's nodal RE agency for solar (rooftop and ground-mount), biomass and small hydro. The Bihar Renewable Energy Policy explicitly cascades infrastructure costing to the relevant transmission or distribution utility's SOR. Solar PV module pricing follows MNRE benchmark cost; civil works for solar plants follow BCD/RCD SOR; line works follow BSPTCL or discom SOR.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BREDA publish its own SOR?
No. The Bihar RE Policy directs costing to the SOR of the concerned transmission/distribution utility (BSPTCL or NBPDCL/SBPDCL).
How are solar PV module prices set?
MNRE benchmark cost notification (annually revised) is the reference for grid-connected solar; rooftop solar uses MNRE Phase-II benchmark.
What does BREDA execute?
Rooftop solar on government buildings, solar agriculture pumps (PM-KUSUM), ground-mount solar parks, biomass plants and small hydro under state policy.
Where are BREDA tenders posted?
breda.bih.nic.in and the Bihar eProcurement portal.
Is there a Bihar-specific solar SOR?
No — Bihar follows MNRE benchmarks for module/inverter; civil and line works follow utility SORs.
