Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd has bagged a contract from state-owned SECI for setting up a 100MW solar project with a battery energy storage system (BESS) at Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh.
The project will have a 40 MW/120 MWh BESS. It is one of the largest grid-connected BESS projects in the country.
The project will demonstrate how, by using a large battery storage system like BESS, solar power can be used to provide clean energy during evening peak hours.
It is supported by the World Bank and SECI’s internal resources and domestic loans. This is expected to boost market confidence and catalyze further investments in the sector to enable India to achieve its commitments towards a net-zero economy.
“This will give a further push to achieving India’s Climate commitments. We will work together to make RE the mainstay of our energy production,” said Suman Sharma, Managing Director, SECI.
SECI, under the MNRE, is engaged in promoting and development of various RE resources, especially solar and wind energy, RE-based storage systems, floating solar, trading of power, consultancy as well as emerging areas such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, Waste to Energy, RE-powered electric vehicles, etc.
