PowerGrid has opened the bidding process for a 530 megawatt‑hour battery storage facility in Haryana, aiming to enhance grid stability and support renewable integration.
PowerGrid has announced a call for bids to develop a 530 MWh battery storage facility in the state of Haryana. The project is part of the company’s broader strategy to modernise India’s power grid and improve its ability to absorb renewable generation.
The proposed storage system will provide rapid response services, helping to balance supply and demand and reduce the need for peaking power plants. While the exact site has not yet been disclosed, the facility is expected to be located in a region with high renewable penetration.
Bidders must meet PowerGrid’s eligibility criteria and submit their proposals by the deadline specified in the tender documents. The company plans to award the contract in the coming months, with construction slated to begin shortly thereafter.
The initiative is seen as a key step toward achieving India’s renewable energy targets and enhancing grid resilience, potentially attracting significant investment from both domestic and international developers.
