New Delhi : Hindustan Power, one of India’s leading integrated
energy companies, has won a bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India
(SECI) to develop a solar and battery energy storage project with a contracted
capacity of 150 MW of solar power. The project will require the installation of
approximately 300 MWp of solar capacity and 300 MWh of Battery Energy Storage
Systems (BESS). Shaping India’s next phase of clean-energy growth, the Chairman
Ratul Puri emphasized company’s focus on building flexible, storage-led
renewable assets that will define the country’s future power infrastructure.
The project will be developed under
the ‘SECI–ISTS–XX’ tender. It is designed for flexible deployment and can be
set up at suitable locations across India. It was secured
through a tariff-based competitive bidding process, followed by a successful
e-Reverse Auction (e-RA) conducted on the ETS portal. It was awarded under
SECI’s tender for ISTS-connected Solar PV projects with integrated Battery
Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Commenting on the
development, Mr Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said: “This project reflects
our continuous commitment to advancing India’s transition toward a modern,
flexible and future-ready energy ecosystem. Our focus remains on building
assets that deliver stability and efficiency, as we continue to build
future-ready energy infrastructure that supports India’s clean-energy
ambitions.”
This development
marks another step forward in Hindustan Power’s efforts to strengthen its
renewable energy portfolio and contribute to India’s clean energy goals. The
integration of solar generation with battery storage will enable enhanced grid
reliability, improved power management during peak hours, and a more stable
supply of clean energy.
By combining solar power with
advanced storage, Hindustan Power continues to support national goals for
sustainability, energy security, and the delivery of clean power. The company
is currently developing clean-energy projects across various parts of India. It
is commissioning a 435 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh, a 100 MW solar power
plant along with a state-of-the-art 100 MW battery-energy storage system in
Assam, and a 120 MWh battery-storage project in Bihar. The company has also
secured a new contract from SJVN Limited to build a 100 MW solar project paired
with a 200 MWh battery-storage system. Together, these projects reflect
Hindustan Power’s commitment to expanding India’s clean-energy footprint.
