According to the company, the project has completed trial operations and received approval from the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NRLDC). Commercial operations for the entire 100 MWh capacity have commenced from today.
The company stated that this is its first operational merchant BESS project. With the commissioning, the facility has become one of the largest operating battery energy storage systems in the country. The project is expected to generate merchant revenues through peak power arbitrage, grid balancing services, and participation in ancillary markets.
Juniper Green Energy has partnered with Envision Energy for the supply and installation of the energy storage systems at the Bikaner project.
The company noted that battery energy storage systems play a key role in supporting grid stability, integrating renewable energy, managing peak demand, and improving the utilisation of transmission infrastructure. As part of its long-term strategy, Juniper Green Energy plans to deploy BESS capacity across its solar project sites connected to the interstate transmission system (ISTS) grid.
Commenting on the development, Ankush Malik, CEO of Juniper Green Energy, said, “With India’s first merchant BESS now fully commissioned, Juniper Green Energy reaffirms its leadership in energy storage innovation. This milestone unlocks new revenue streams while bolstering grid stability and accelerating our renewable energy mission.”
In parallel, Juniper Green Energy has already installed 400 MWh of BESS capacity at Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, which is expected to be commissioned by Q1 2026.
