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.
