In order to provide a leg-up to the power storage industry — which is still in a nascent stage in the country — the government is coming up with 400 MW of renewable energy tenders for round-the-clock (RTC) electricity supply.
Sources in the ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) told FE that storage-backed power from these sources would be supplied to the New Delhi Municipal Council and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
“Developers can decide for themselves if they want to set up wind or solar projects and these plants can be built at any suitable location in the country,” a person aware of the developments told FE, adding that ‘it is first initiative of this kind’.
