According to the company, the actual installed capacity of the solar project will be substantially higher, enabling power supply throughout the day while also charging the BESS for uninterrupted peak-hour supply.
The project was secured through a tariff-based competitive bidding process, followed by a successful e-Reverse Auction (e-RA) conducted on the ETS portal.
It is a part of the 1200 MW ISTS-connected Solar PV power projects with 600 MW/2400 MWh Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to be set up anywhere in India, the company said.
Commenting on the development, Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, said, “We are happy to have won this project, which marks an important step in bringing more clean and reliable energy to the country.”
“By combining solar power with energy storage, we can ensure effective management of peak power demand along with uninterrupted supply of power even when the sun isn’t shining. I am confident that this will help in building a stronger, more dependable energy system for everyone,” he added.
Designed to deliver firm and dispatchable power throughout the 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the project is expected to position Hindustan Power as a critical contributor to India’s renewable energy transition.
The company explained that the project will “play a crucial role in enhancing grid resilience and operational agility by balancing intermittent solar power generation with real-time energy demand, while ensuring a continuous and reliable supply of clean power, including four hours of delivery during peak demand periods.”
“The integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will enable energy shifting, and peak load management, significantly improving grid stability and efficiency,” it added.
