What is SECI's solar-plus-storage tender?
SECI issued a request for selection last week seeking 1.2GW of solar PV and 600MW/3.6GWh of BESS. Credit: Solar Energy Corporation of India. State-owned firm Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has launched a solar-plus-storage tender seeking 1.2GW of solar PV.
How much energy storage will India have by ?
The MoP anticipates that, due to this new storage clause, about 14GW/28GWh of energy storage systems will be installed in India by . As the price of energy storage batteries declines, it is expected to help reduce evening power purchase costs, when solar power is unavailable and energy prices in the power trading market are higher.
How many solar tenders have been launched in India?
Between and , 11 more such tenders, totalling 80 MW of solar with 150 MWh of BESS capacity, were launched by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited and TANGEDCO.
What is the world's largest solar-plus Bess tender in ?
India completed bidding for one of the world’s largest solar-plus BESS tenders in . SECI’s 2 GW solar project with 4 GWh of BESS (four hours of peak supply) was awarded at a discovered tariff of Rs 3.52 per kWh to Reliance ADA, BluPine, Hero Future Energies, Sembcorp and NTPC.
How much solar energy will India have by ?
Solar and wind are expected to carry most of the load. India has committed to 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by , with 280 GW solar and 140 GW wind. Solar has expanded at an annual rate of 36.5 per cent over the past decade, supported by initiatives such as the Solar Parks Programme and rooftop solar schemes.
How has the solar-plus-Bess market changed in India in ?
In , the scenario changed significantly for the solar-plus-BESS segment in India. In March , SECI shared the first large-scale build-own-operate (BOO) tender for 1.2 GW of solar PV with 0.6 GW/1.2 GWh of BESS capacity. The tender was very well received by the industry and saw the lowest tariff discovery of Rs 3.41 per kWh.
This cost is comparable to or lower than current industrial tariffs in most states and tariffs for new coal power plants. Unlike industrial tariffs, which typically increase with inflation, solar-plus-storage tariffs will remain fixed and inflation-proof for 25 years.
