India Grid Trust on Wednesday said it has commissioned its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project coupled with its solar panels at the Dhule substation in Maharashtra.
The project will meet the substation’s auxiliary consumption requirement, a company statement said.
It will not only “reduce our emissions but also act as a prototype for expanding our presence in energy transition opportunities in the sector,” it stated.
This facility will also act as a test bed for augmenting IndiGrid’s capabilities to participate in energy transition opportunities in solar and BESS space, Chief Executive Officer, Harsh Shah said.
