Hindustan Power Wins 100 MW Solar, 200 MWh BESS Project

Hindustan Power Ltd. has secured a major renewable energy order from state-owned SJVN Ltd. for developing a 100 MW solar power project combined with a 200 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS). The project, part of a larger 1,200 MW inter-state transmission system (ISTS)-connected solar initiative with 600 MW/2,400 MWh of energy storage, was awarded through tariff-based competitive bidding followed by a successful e-reverse auction.

This ISTS project allows installation anywhere in India and aims to strengthen grid stability and supply reliability. A 600 MW/2,400 MWh configuration enables each MW of storage to provide four hours of backup, ensuring seamless energy availability.

Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, highlighted the importance of integrating solar energy with storage, noting it ensures a stable power supply even during non-sunny hours. He said, “This approach enables more dependable energy management and peak demand balancing, building a stronger energy infrastructure.”
