Tata Power Solar Systems Limited (TPSSL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), completed India’s largest Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) project at Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh.
It comprises a 100 MW Solar PV Project and a 120 MWh Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). TPSSL secured the INR 945 crore project from SECI in December 2021, handling engineering, construction, and commissioning of the projects.
The project is expected to generate an estimated 243.53 million units of energy annually and reduce the carbon footprint of 4.87 million tonnes in 25 years, contributing significantly to India’s renewable energy goals, the company said, adding that the project was completed on time despite challenges like unsuitable soil conditions and remote location. Bifacial Mono Crystalline technology was employed for 239,685 modules.
“The successful commissioning of the largest solar and battery storage project for SECI reflects the technical expertise and project execution skills of Tata Power Solar. This will ensure round-the-clock green energy and accelerate the renewable energy transition through innovative solutions,” said Deepesh Nanda, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited.
