Bihar signs MoU to procure power from country’s largest solar-battery project at Kajra
The Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited (BSPGCL) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with the North and the South Bihar Power Distribution Companies Limited (discoms) to procure electricity from Bihar’s fully-owned 185 MW solar power project integrated with a 282 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Kajra in Lakhisarai district — the largest such storage facility in the country.
The first phase of the ₹1,810 crore project began commercial generation about 10 days back. Bihar’s generation firm awarded the work order to L&T on July 1, 2024, with an 18-month completion deadline.
