Tata Power Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of the Tata Power has secured a Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement from NHPC, a hydropower company.
Worth noting: this is Tata Power’s first ever battery energy storage purchase agreement.
What’s cooking: the project involves a 30 MW/120 MWh battery energy storage system in Kerala, awarded via competitive bidding for the Kerala State Electricity Board.
Why it matters: the project aims to address peak power demand, enhance grid flexibility, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy in the state. This agreement is also a part of NHPC’s broader plan to develop 125 MW/ 500 MWh of standalone battery storage capacity in Kerala.
Zoom out: as India rapidly expands solar and wind capacity, battery storage is key to ensuring grid stability and meeting peak demand. The government aims to add 50+ GW of storage by 2030, with strong policy and tender support.
