State utility Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) has allocated 1 GWh of standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) under its Phase VI tender at an average tariff of $3,321.20 per megawatt (MW) of project nominal power per month.

Solarworld Energy Solutions and HG Infra Engineering emerged as the winning bidders to develop and operate large-scale BESS projects in the state of Gujarat.

Solarworld secured a 200 MW/400 MWh project at the lowest quoted tariff of $3,288.31/MW/month, while HG Infra Engineering will deploy the remaining 300 MW/600 MWh capacity at a tariff of $3,354/MW/month.

Both projects will be developed on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis. The BESS facilities will be made available to GUVNL for charging and discharging on an ‘on-demand’ basis, supporting grid stability and renewable energy integration across the state.

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?
