SPML Infra Expands Storage Capabilities with Energy Vault Partnership

03 Apr 2025 CW Team

The agreement is expected to enable SPML to deploy multiple gigawatt hours (GWh) of BESS in India, supporting the country’s energy transition efforts. Over the next 12 months, a minimum of 500 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy storage capacity is planned, with a long-term target of manufacturing 30-40+ GWh of BESS over the next decade. Localized production will allow SPML to leverage cost efficiencies and its deep market expertise, ensuring competitive solutions within India's growing energy storage sector.

Designed to meet short to medium-duration energy storage needs, the B-VAULT system offers integrated battery storage solutions that prioritize reliability, flexibility, and sustainability. The system's adaptable enclosure architecture allows for the use of various battery and inverter suppliers, while its AC-coupled and DC-coupled configurations provide seamless integration for different projects. Advanced safety and cybersecurity features, combined with VaultOS EMS integration, enhance operational efficiency and affordability, making it a robust solution for India’s expanding clean energy landscape.

This partnership marks a significant step toward strengthening India's renewable energy capacity and ensuring a stable, cost-effective power supply.

Gujarat Pushes Biogas Growth With 193 Operational Units

Gujarat has operationalised 193 biogas plants across the state and is planning to add 60 more units as part of a broader push to scale up clean and sustainable energy solutions. The existing plants, established under various government-supported schemes, process organic waste including cattle dung and agricultural residue to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich slurry. The output is mainly used for cooking and other energy needs in rural and semi-urban communities, while also improving local waste management practices. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is leading the initiative and is..
