GEDA Invites Bids for 300 MW Solar With 150 MW 900 MWh BESS in Goa

19 Feb 2026 CW Team

The Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) has invited bids for a package of grid-scale renewable projects that combine 300 megawatt (MW) of solar capacity and a 150 megawatt (MW), 900 megawatt hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) in Goa. The invitation was published by local authorities as part of efforts to bolster renewable supply and system resilience. The storage configuration is intended to provide firming and temporal shifting of solar generation.

Under the tender, developers will be required to design, build and operate the solar arrays and integrated BESS to meet technical and grid-connection standards specified by the agency. The projects are structured to allow multiple developers to participate and to provide ancillary services, energy shifting and capacity support to the state grid. Bid submissions will be evaluated on technical capability, financial strength and prior experience in similar integrated renewable and storage projects.

Officials expect the combined solar and storage capacity to support peak demand management and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel peaking plants, while enhancing dispatchable renewable output. The agency highlighted the role of large-scale BESS in smoothing intermittent generation and enabling higher penetration of variable renewables. The procurement aligns with broader regional objectives to increase clean energy share and strengthen grid flexibility as demand grows.

Prospective bidders have been advised to consult the tender documents for eligibility criteria, technical specifications and bidding procedures, which are available on the Energetica India website at the original URL provided. The agency is seeking competitive submissions that balance cost-effectiveness with operational robustness and grid-support capabilities. Stakeholders said the initiative could accelerate storage deployment in the region and attract investment into firming technologies.
