Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RRVUNL) has invited bids to set up standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS), connected to the State Transmission Utility (STU), with an aggregate storage capacity of 2,000 MWh (500 MW x 4 hours). The systems will operate on a single-cycle charging/discharging basis.
RRVUNL seeks to utilize these energy storage systems on an “on-demand” basis to meet the state’s requirements during peak and off-peak hours.
The utility will enter into a battery energy storage purchase agreement (BESPA) with the selected bidders for providing energy storage services. The selected BESS developers will be responsible for setting up the systems on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis.
Projects awarded under this Request for Selection (RfS) will be eligible for central financial assistance in the form of viability gap funding (VGF) through the Power System Development Fund (PSDF) scheme, issued by the Ministry of Power.
