Hindustan Power, an integrated energy company, 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, an official statement said.
The project will require the installation of approximately 300 MWp of solar capacity and 300 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
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.
The project was awarded under SECI’s tender for ISTS-connected Solar PV projects with integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Commenting on the development, Chairman, Hindustan Power, Ratul Puri said: “This project reflects our continuous commitment to advancing India’s transition toward a modern, flexible and future-ready energy ecosystem.”
He further added, “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.”
According to the statement, this development strengthens Hindustan Power’s renewable energy portfolio and the company’s contribution toward 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.
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.
