18 Nov 2025 CW Team

Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has finalised government orders with Andhra Pradesh for a 1,200 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Nandyal and a 50 MW hybrid solar project. The announcement was made during the Energy Session of the Andhra Pradesh Partnership Summit 2025 in Visakhapatnam.

SECI said the exchange of orders is a key step in strengthening the state’s renewable energy framework and advancing India’s transition to a storage-enabled green grid. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy noted that the projects represent a major leap in clean-energy storage capacity.

The Ministry of Power designated SECI as the implementing agency for the BESS project in January 2025, with approval granted by the SECI Board in October. Both the storage and hybrid projects will be developed in CAPEX mode, with SECI taking full investment responsibility.

Earlier this week, SECI also signed an MoU with NHAI to install solar plants along the elevated stretch of the Delhi–Saharanpur–Dehradun highway, aiming to utilise highway infrastructure for renewable power generation and reduce carbon footprint.
