Hindustan Power Gets 120 MWh Battery Energy Storage Project

Energy venture Hindustan Power on Thursday said that it has been awarded a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a 120 MWh Standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project from the Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited (BSPGCL), to be implemented across three key grid substations in Bihar. The installations will be set up at Bhagalpur (40 MWh), Udakishanganj (40 MWh), and Sitamarhi (40 MWh).

The project, awarded under Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB), will be implemented on a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) basis, the statement said.

The project will play an important role in Hindustan Power’s mission to drive innovation in clean energy and directly support the National Energy Storage Mission by enhancing grid stability, flexibility, and renewable energy integration in Bihar.

The Scheduled Commissioning Date for the full capacity is set for 18 months from the Effective Date of the Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA).

As part of the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s approved 500 MWh battery energy storage system project in Bihar, this initiative will not only ensure an uninterrupted and high-quality power supply but also help balance demand and supply during peak hours.

Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, said, “This partnership reflects our commitment to technological innovation and environmental responsibility. It is a progressive step toward building a cleaner energy future, and we remain dedicated to supporting the state’s clean energy ambitions.”
