The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued a tender to set up 2,000 MW of solar power with co-located energy storage systems (ESS), marking a big step in boosting India's renewable power reliability. Developers will be chosen via tariff-based bidding, and must link projects to the Inter-State Transmission System. Each 1 MW solar unit needs at least 0.5 MW/2 MWh of ESS, charged solely by solar. Projects may span multiple sites but must include co-located storage. This aligns with India's growing push for hybrid energy systems to meet round-the-clock power demand, aiming for 73.93 GW of storage by 2032.Read more
