NTPC Tenders 1.7 GW BESS Across Thermal Stations Nationwide India
India’s state-run generator NTPC Ltd has launched an EPC tender for one of the country’s largest battery rollouts to date—1,700 MW/4,000 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to be installed across its fleet of thermal power stations. According to the Invitation for Bids, submissions are due by September 19.
NTPC plans to execute the programme in two tranches: an initial 300 MW/1,200 MWh phase followed by a much larger 1,400 MW/2,800 MWh build-out. In total, the capacity will be distributed across 11 locations, with each installation integrated into existing plant infrastructure. The systems are specified for two full charge–discharge cycles per day and a 12-year operating period, underscoring the utility’s intent to deploy assets capable of daily peak shaving, renewable integration, and grid-balancing duties.
The scope of work extends beyond batteries and enclosures. NTPC’s tender covers a full power conversion system, plus an energy management platform and SCADA for real-time monitoring and dispatch. Winning contractors will also be responsible for a comprehensive annual maintenance contract for 12 years from the commissioning date. Performance requirements call for each BESS to meet rated capacity at commissioning and maintain it through the first year of operation.
By colocating storage with thermal assets, NTPC can leverage robust grid interconnections and existing land, accelerating deployment while reducing balance-of-plant complexity. Strategically, marrying batteries to conventional stations enables more flexible operations—allowing plants to run at steadier load factors while batteries handle ramps, frequency control, and evening peaks. Over time, such hybrids can cut fuel burn, lower emissions intensity per kWh, and improve system reliability as variable wind and solar gain share on the grid.
The tender’s scale and multi-site structure signal a maturing Indian storage market, with EPCs expected to bring bankable technology stacks, standardised designs, and proven O&M programs. With daily cycling specified from day one, suppliers will need to optimise for lifecycle costs, warranty-backed performance, and integration finesse at brownfield sites.

India poised for 'landmark year' for solar after 2020 installs diminish
India set up 2.6 GW of brand-new utility-scale solar power capability in between January and also December last year, JMK Research study & Analytics' most recent report on the country's renewables market insurance claims. This represents a 65% decline in growth compared to 2019.
Nevertheless, the research study team believes that activity over the next 11 months will amount to a "landmark year" for India's solar capacity, and projects that were not appointed last year as a result of COVID-19 disturbance will certainly obtain the thumbs-up in 2021.
Around 9.7 GW of utility-scale solar capability is anticipated to be appointed by December with a further 2GW of roof solar installments to be commissioned by the end of the year, up from the 1,172 MW in 2020.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Friday (19 February) that the government is "devoting great relevance to solar power" as part of India's change from nonrenewable fuel sources to renewables. The nation's renewables ability got to 91.2 GW since last December, JMK's report said, with solar composing 41% of the clean energy mix. Modi has previously claimed that the nation's renewables ability is anticipated to get to 220GW by 2022, surpassing its original 175GW target. Nonetheless the nation is readied to miss its much vaunted aspiration of mounting 100GW of solar by 2022, with a lot of projections expect the total number to get to 65GW.
India currently has an advancement pipeline of solar, wind, and hydropower totalling 50GW capacity which is readied to be commissioned over the next three years, and also solar is set to see the fastest growth of any renewable energy resource, the report stated. Although wind power presently comprises 43% of the nation's renewable resource capability, just 2.5 GW of new wind projects are set to be appointed this year, compared with 9.7 GW of utility-scale solar.
Installments remained sluggish throughout 2020 as a result of widespread interruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the report said. Nonetheless, development got in the last 3 months of the year to reach 1,016 MW included capacity. An earlier report from the research study team found that even more around 500MW was set up in December alone. Meanwhile, financial investment flow in the renewables sector reached US$ 1.27 billion in the 4th quarter of 2020, up 211% on Q3. JMK claimed setups are "most likely to more pick up" in the first quarter of this year, with an estimate of 2.2 GW of brand-new solar capacity.
Regional power manufacturer Adani is the nation's leading power gamer, with a functional portfolio of 2.9 GW capacity as well as roughly 11.8 GW of additional projects in its growth pipeline. The firm just recently sold a 20% risk to European energy large Total. Azure is readied to come to be Adani's closest rival in India's solar market in the coming years, with about 5GW of capability in its own advancement pipeline.
On the supply chain side, Sungrow stayed India's most noticeable main inverter distributor last year, with 700MW of inverter deliveries taped in Q4 if 2020. Huawei was additionally the nation's leading string inverter company last year, delivering more than 1.7 GW of ability during the very same period. JinkoSolar and also Longi were the country's leading module providers, both delivering more than 600MW of modules to Indian power producers in the last 3 months of 2020. JinkoSolar alone contributed 25% of the country's module shipments.
There is some disagreement over how much funding the country will need from institutional investors to reach its targets. The Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Evaluation, asserts that US$ 300 billion would certainly need to be alloted for wind and also solar project growth, US$ 50 billion on grid stabilising technologies such as battery energy storage, and US$ 150 billion on transmission as well as distribution campaigns. One more report from the International Energy Company (IEA) has stated the country's clean energy market may require US$ 1.4 trillion in additional investments to make sure sustainable development.
