Coal India Limited (CIL) has appointed Neopulse Energy Pvt. Ltd. as the Owner's Engineer for its large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Odisha. This project features a capacity of 80 MW and 320 MWh.
The appointment of Neopulse comes one month after the BESS tender for this project was issued. Neopulse will play a crucial role in both the pre-award and post-award phases of the project. Prior to the contract award, the company will focus on technical specifications, equipment requirements, and the evaluation of bids for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract.
Following the contract award, Neopulse will review EPC designs, vendor documents, and quality plans. Additionally, it will oversee manufacturing, construction, testing, and commissioning of the system. The project encompasses four sites in Odisha: Bhatli, Basta, Padampur, and New Bolangir. The agreement also includes 15 years of operational management and maintenance (O&M).
The selected EPC contractor is responsible for building the BESS and the associated evacuation infrastructure. The facility must be made available to GRIDCO on demand. GRIDCO previously issued CIL a Letter of Award on April 30, 2026, for a separate 40 MW/160 MWh BESS project.
