Gujarat Approves Tariffs for 450 MW/900 MWh Battery Storage Projects
The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) has approved tariffs for the procurement of large-scale battery energy storage systems. This involves a capacity of 450 MW/900 MWh, which Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) will acquire. The projects are part of GUVNL's ninth tender phase.
The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) has recently approved tariffs for the procurement of large-scale battery energy storage systems. This approval enables Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) to acquire 450 MW of standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a capacity of 900 MWh. These projects are part of GUVNL's ninth tender phase.
GERC's decision marks a significant step in the development of energy storage capacity within the Indian state of Gujarat. By establishing these tariffs, the path is cleared for the further implementation of this crucial infrastructure, which is essential for the stability and flexibility of the electricity grid. The procurement of this substantial capacity underscores the growing recognition of the necessity for battery storage solutions to support the integration of renewable energy sources and optimize energy supply.
