Reliance Power Subsidiary Bags 930MW Solar Energy Project and 465MW BESS from SECI
Reliance Power Limited (Reliance Power) subsidiary, Reliance NU Suntech Private Limited (Reliance NU Suntech) received the Letter of Award from Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for its proposed Solar 930 MW and 465 MW/1860 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects.
The project will see the largest deployment of grid storage batteries at a single site, not only in India but also in Asia, besides China.
The competitive tariff with assured supply of peak power for 4 hours in a day will be a welcome relief for DISCOMs that have had to consistently buy power from the power exchanges during peak hours at the cap of INR 10 per unit.
Reliance NU Suntech won the landmark 930 MW solar energy contract with battery energy storage system project (BESS) from Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) in an e-reverse auction held on 9th December 2024.
As per the terms of the tender, Reliance NU Suntech will also install a minimum storage capacity of 465 MW/1,860 MWh charged by solar power. The company, among India’s leading power generators, secured the largest individual allocation out of the five companies vying for a total quoted capacity of 2,000 MW of Inter- State Transmission System (ISTS) connected solar power projects with 1,000 MW/4,000 MWh energy storage systems.
