BPCL Awards Volks Energie Solar-Battery Project for IDPL

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has awarded Volks Energie a contract to commission a solar photovoltaic and lithium-ion battery system for the Irugur–Devangonthi Pipeline (IDPL) Project, a vital petroleum product infrastructure initiative spanning Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

This marks the second collaboration between BPCL and Volks Energie, following a previous project in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The current scope involves setting up off-grid renewable power systems at key control stations and remote locations along the IDPL corridor, which stretches from Irugur near Coimbatore to Devangonthi in Karnataka.

The deployment features solar photovoltaic units integrated with advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to provide backup power for critical operational systems such as SCADA, Cathodic Protection, and other essential infrastructure. This ensures continuous power availability for equipment functioning in remote and off-grid locations.

Commenting on the development, Piyush Goyal, Co-Founder and CEO of Volks Energie, said, “We are honoured by BPCL’s continued trust in us for strategic and mission-critical solar and battery deployments. Our systems will contribute to national energy security by enabling safe and reliable power for remote pipeline operations.”

This project is part of BPCL's broader push toward sustainable and decentralised energy solutions in core infrastructure, further aligning with India’s long-term clean energy goals.
