Mumbai: The Andhra Pradesh government has received five bids for building India’s largest energy storage project. The bidders include renewable energy firms Greenko and private power transmission company Sterlite Power, a person said, requesting anonymity.
In February, Transmission Corp. of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (APTransco) had invited expressions of interest from companies for long-term supply of a power storage solution that could be connected to the state electricity grid. The requirement was to build an “energy shifting solution” of 400MW and 8 hours of discharge per day (3,200 MWh) that would be operational from October 2021.
