NHPC Floats Tender for BESS Integration with 1,200 MW Jalaun Solar Park in UP
NHPC has invited bids to develop battery energy storage systems and supply solar-plus-BESS power using 1,200 MW of existing solar capacity at Jalaun Solar Park in Uttar Pradesh.
November 09, 2026. By Mrinmoy Dey
BSUL intends to integrate BESS with the existing solar power of 2,419 Million Units (MU) in Solar + BESS configuration to meet the firm and dispatchable power requirement of the end procurer.
Bidders need to pay INR 30 lakh (plus GST) for each Block. They also need to deposit INR 10 crore as bid security.
The last date for submission of bids is December 12, 2026. The techno-commercial bids will be opened on December 16, 2026.
The project developer will be selected through Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) based on a composite solar-plus-BESS tariff under two configurations. Configuration I involves scheduling 300 MW of solar power during solar hours and 800 MW/4,800 MWh of BESS capacity during non-solar hours. Configuration II involves scheduling 600 MW of solar power during solar hours and 800 MW/3,200 MWh of BESS capacity. Developers can bid for either or both configurations, with the final selection depending on the buying entity's requirements.
The selected BESS developer will set up battery storage infrastructure across four blocks near three 33/400 kV pooling substations close to Jalaun Solar Park. The developer will procure solar power generated from these blocks and supply the combined solar-plus-BESS power to the designated delivery point at the ISTS CTUIL substation.
Bidders can submit offers for Configuration-I, Configuration-II or both, with each location comprising 75 MW solar capacity and 200 MW/1,200 MWh of BESS under Configuration-I, or 150 MW solar capacity and 200 MW/800 MWh of BESS under Configuration-II.
Bidders can secure up to 50 percent of the total contracted capacity, with allocation limited to a maximum of two locations across either or both configurations.
For Configuration-I, bidders must have a minimum net worth of INR 353.20 crore per block, while the requirement for Configuration-II is INR 261.20 crore per block. To demonstrate liquidity, bidders must meet at least one of three criteria: minimum annual turnover of INR 176.60 crore per block for Configuration-I or INR 130.60 crore for Configuration-II; PBDIT of INR 35.32 crore or INR 26.12 crore per block, respectively; or an in-principle bank sanction for a fund-based credit line of INR 44.15 crore per block for Configuration-I or INR 32.65 crore for Configuration-II.
