A new tender from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) seeks 2,000MW of solar PV combined with 1,000MW/4,000MWh of energy storage system (ESS) technology.
Winning bids as low as IR3.41/kWh (US$0.041/kWh) have been registered in a tender for solar PV paired with battery storage hosted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has begun the process of tendering for 4,000MWh of grid-scale battery storage which will be supported by government Viability Gap Funding.
Multiple tenders seeking gigawatts of ‘firm and dispatchable’ renewable energy have been launched in India in recent months by state-owned or administered enterprises.
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) is seeking proposals for non-battery energy storage projects to supplement renewable energy generation, and will cover up to 100% of project costs.
