Uttar Pradesh Power Corp. Ltd. (UPPCL) has launched a tender for the selection of developers to supply energy from 1,500 MWh (375 MW x 4 hours) of standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, on an on-demand basis.
The selected developers will set up the BESS projects, connected to the State Transmission Utility (STU), on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. The stored energy will be supplied in accordance with the requirements of the state’s DISCOMs during peak hours. The projects will be supported by viability gap funding (VGF) through the Power System Development Fund (PSDF).
UPPCL will enter into a battery energy discharge purchase agreement (BEDPA) with the successful bidders.
The charging power for the BESS must be arranged by the developer from renewable energy sources. Each BESS must be made available for one complete charge-discharge cycle per day, and the developer must ensure a minimum system availability of 95% on a monthly basis.
