Construction services business HG Infra Engineering has incorporated wholly owned subsidiary HG Gujarat BESS as a stationary energy storage-dedicated division after its recent BESS auction win.

HG Infra secured the right to build 250 MW/500 MWh of viability gap funding-backed BESS project capacity in the state of Gujarat via an auction held by state electric utility Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. Viability gap funding is provided by India’s central government to help infrastructure projects be economically viable.

Jaipur-based HG Infra has incorporated the HG Gujarat BESS unit as its battery energy storage operation.

“HG Gujarat BESS Private Limited is incorporated in India as a wholly owned subsidiary company, as a special purpose vehicle, in the state of Rajasthan and is yet to commence its business operations,” stated HG Infra.

Opinion & Analysis

When will there be nationwide financing solutions for battery storage systems in Germany? The use of battery storage systems is essential for the success of the energy transition and the best possible use of renewable energies, but also for being able to temporarily store surplus energy from other sources. Technically, there are already solutions for all possible sizes of battery storage systems, from private home storage systems to large-scale storage systems with a capacity of more than 50 MWh. But what about the financing of battery storage systems, is it already offered as standard?

Battery storage for Germany’s energy transition: Unlocking untapped potential Germany's energy transition is making significant progress: In the first half of 2024, the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix rose to 57 %. This new influx of renewable energy is pushing the power grid to its limits. Battery energy storage systems and an optimized redispatch procedure could play a key role in improving the integration of renewables and alleviating grid congestion. However, some hurdles still need to be overcome, according to Benedikt Deuchert of Kyon Energy.
