Enrich signs contract for 290 MWh BESS with NTPC

Enrich has secured a contract with NTPC Ltd. for a 290 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project to be deployed at NTPC’s Simhadri Thermal Power Station in Andhra Pradesh.

Under the contract, Enrich will be responsible for end-to-end BESS installation and integration with the existing thermal power station infrastructure, as well as remote monitoring and control systems and operations and maintenance (O&M) services. The scope includes battery systems, battery management systems (BMS), energy management systems (EMS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), power conversion systems (PCS), and inverter-duty transformers.

The project marks Enrich’s entry into the energy storage segment. “We have developed BESS EPC capabilities and critical supply chain relationships with both local and global partners. In addition to this prestigious NTPC project, we have also secured turnkey BESS orders from private C&I businesses, which are already under execution and will be commissioned soon,” said Ankit Kanchal, managing director of Enrich.
