HG Infra Signs BESPA with GUVNL for 300 MW/600 MWh Standalone BESS Project in Gujarat
HG Infra Engineering has signed a battery energy storage purchase agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam to develop a 300 MW/600 MWh standalone BESS project in Gujarat.
November 29, 2025. By Mrinmoy Dey
The company secured the capacity in GUVNL’s 500 MW/1,000 MWh BESS auction in April this year at a tariff of INR 2.85 lakh/MW/month.
The projects are not eligible for Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support.
The 300 MW/600 MWh BESS plant must be set up at any location in Gujarat, connected with Intra State Transmission System (In-STS) and the land shall be identified by the developer.
The BESS shall be charged by drawing power from GETCO and injecting power to GETCO network in accordance with the dispatch instructions issued by SLDC in consultation with GUVNL. GUVNL will provide the required power for charging BESS considering the minimum system efficiency under the agreement.
The BESS developers (BESSD) must make the BESS available for 2 operational cycles per day, i.e. 2 complete charge-discharge cycles per day. The BESSD must guarantee a minimum system availability of 95 percent on an annual basis. The BESSD must guarantee AC to AC roundtrip efficiency (RtE) of 85 percent system on a monthly basis.
Designed to bolster grid stability and support seamless renewable energy integration, the system will play a pivotal role in delivering round-the-clock green power. As renewable penetration accelerates across the state, large-format storage assets like this are becoming essential for managing intermittency, enabling peak load shifting, and ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
