NTPC Issues Tenders for 1 GW Solar and 3.3 GWh BESS in India
NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd and NTPC Green Energy Ltd recently launched two significant tenders in India. These involve the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 1 GW solar power project in Andhra Pradesh and a large-scale 3.3 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Gujarat. The projects encompass extensive work, from design to long-term maintenance, with specific requirements for battery lifespan.
NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NTPC REL) has launched a tender for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a 1 GW ground-mounted solar PV project. This project, comprising two 500 MW blocks, will be developed in Kambadur, Anantapur, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The scope of work encompasses the entire process: from design and engineering to manufacturing, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of the solar facility. The provision of solar PV modules is also part of the package. The selected bidder will additionally be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the solar power plant for three years following its successful commissioning.
Separately, NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL) has invited bids for an EPC package for a 3,300 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This system is slated for installation at the NTPC REL solar plant in Khavda, Gujarat.
The BESS project is structured into four blocks, all located at PSS-1 within NTPC REL Khavda. Three of these blocks will each feature a capacity of 300 MW/900 MWh, while the fourth block will provide 200 MW/600 MWh.
The BESS package will be executed on a turnkey basis. This includes the design, engineering, supply, transportation, installation, and commissioning of the grid-connected battery energy storage system. The chosen supplier is also required to provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for a period of fifteen years.
The tender stipulates a design life of 25 years for the BESS, including its batteries, from the date of commissioning. Capacity degradation is to be proposed by the bidder, considering daily single-cycle operation. Furthermore, the batteries offered must be rated for a minimum operational life of 25 years when used in a single-cycle-per-day application.
