Under the order, the company has been awarded the engineering, procurement and construction scope for a 280 MW AC or 410 MWp DC solar photovoltaic project. The contract also includes setting up an 80 MW battery energy storage system with a capacity of 320 MWh at Challakere in Karnataka. The project combines large-scale solar generation with energy storage to support grid stability and improve power availability.
The scope of work covers the complete lifecycle of the project, including design, detailed engineering, supply of equipment, erection and commissioning. In addition, Hartek Power will undertake operations and maintenance for a period of one year after commissioning. The total consideration for the agreed scope of work stands at approximately INR 353.77 crore.
Battery energy storage systems are increasingly being adopted across India to address the intermittent nature of renewable energy and to enable more reliable supply during non-generation hours. Integrated solar and storage projects have gained traction in recent years as policymakers and utilities push for round-the-clock renewable power and better grid management.
Commenting on the development, Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Hartek Group, stated that the project indicates the growing maturity of the domestic renewable energy market, where solar generation and storage are being deployed together as a unified solution rather than as separate assets.
The project adds to Hartek Power's portfolio of utility-scale renewable energy developments and reflects the broader shift in India's energy transition towards combining clean generation with storage infrastructure.
