Juniper Green Energy has fully commissioned its 100 MWh merchant battery energy storage system (BESS) project at Bikaner, Rajasthan, through its subsidiary Juniper Green Cosmic. This commissioning marks its first operational merchant BESS.
The developer said that the 100 MWh capacity has successfully completed trial operations and received approval from the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NRLDC). Commercial operations for the entire project started on January 23rd, 2026.
The project is now fully commissioned at 100 MWh capacity and has become one of the largest operating BESS in India, offering significant potential for merchant revenue streams including peak arbitrage, grid balancing services, and ancillary market participation.
Juniper Green Energy has partnered with global renewable major, Envision Energy, for the supply & installation of energy storage systems at its Bikaner plant.
“With India’s first merchant BESS now fully commissioned, Juniper Green Energy reaffirms its leadership in energy storage innovation. This milestone unlocks new revenue streams while bolstering grid stability and accelerating our renewable energy mission,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy.
In parallel, Juniper Green Energy has already installed 400 MWh of BESS capacity at Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, which is expected to be commissioned by Q1 2026, further strengthening the company’s storage portfolio and long-term growth visibility.
