Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) has invited proposals to set up standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS), connected with the State Grid, for an aggregate storage capacity of 800 MWh (400 MW x 2 hours) and an additional 800 MWh (400 MW x2 hours) under green shoe option.
The projects will be awarded through tariff-based global competitive bidding.
GUVNL will enter into a battery energy storage purchase agreement (BESPA) with the successful bidders for providing energy storage facility to GUVNL.
The minimum bid size is 100 MWh, i.e., 50 MW x 2 hours and in multiple of 50 MW/100 MWh.
BESS developers selected by GUVNL will set up the BESS on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis to offer facility to GUVNL to charge and discharge the BESS on an “on demand” basis. They will make the BESS available for two operational cycles per day, i.e., two complete charge-discharge cycles per day. The BESSD must guarantee a minimum system availability of 95% on annual basis.
