India is seeking bids for supply of 6,000 megawatts (MW) of power from renewable energy projects to ensure peak-hour supply with storage, according to a tender issued by state-run SJVN.
India wants to add a record 35 gigawatts (GW) of solar and wind power capacity to its grid during the year ending March 2025, with a target to raise its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW.
SJVN wants power from an inter-state transmission system that carries electricity across state boundaries across the country, as mentioned by a news media. Government data shows that India added 10 gigawatts of renewable capacity in the first five months of this fiscal year, the April to August period, taking its total capacity to about 153 gigawatts.
Earlier, Bhupinder Singh Bhalla, a top bureaucrat in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, said in a statement that a lot of battery-related storage projects are expected to come up in the country.
