Sunsure Energy Signs 500 MWh BESS Pact with NVVN for UPPCL

29 Aug 2025 CW Team

Sunsure Energy has signed a Battery Energy Discharge Purchase Agreement (BEDPA) with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) to set up a 125MW/500MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Garautha substation in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, supplying power to the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) for 15 years.

Sunsure Energy, a renewable energy solutions provider for businesses and utilities transitioning to green power, said the agreement marks its first long-term power supply through BESS. The pact ensures supply of four hours of on-demand power between 6 pm and 10 am, giving UPPCL flexibility to source clean energy at peak demand hours at competitive tariffs.

Unlike conventional fixed monthly rates, the agreement introduces a new billing structure based on a fixed tariff (Rs/kWh) of discharged energy, marking a shift in India’s energy storage ecosystem.

Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Sunsure Energy, said, "We've moved from pure-solar offerings to hybrid systems with BESS, enabling C&I customers to access renewable energy even during peak hours, while displacing more fossil energy from their energy mix. On the utility side, our evolution is clear -- from winning SECI's pure solar bids to SJVN's advanced hybrid tenders, and now, NVVN's first-of-its-kind BESS deployment in the country."
