Hindustan Power to expand clean-energy footprint with 150 MW solar project, says Chairman Ratul Puri

Hindustan Power, an integrated energy company in India, has won a bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to develop a solar and battery energy storage project with a contracted capacity of 150 MW of solar power. The project will require the installation of approximately 300 MWp of solar capacity and 300 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Shaping India’s next phase of clean-energy development, Chairman Ratul Puri emphasied the company’s focus on building flexible, storage-led renewable assets aligned with the country’s evolving power infrastructure.

The project will be developed under the ‘SECI–ISTS–XX’ tender. It is designed for flexible deployment and can be set up at suitable locations across India. It was secured through a tariff-based competitive bidding process, followed by a Reverse Auction (e-RA) conducted on the ETS portal.
