Hartek Power secures solar plus storage EPC project in Karnataka

Hartek Power has secured an engineering, procurement, and construction contract for a large scale solar plus storage project in Karnataka. The project involves a 280 MW alternating current solar photovoltaic plant with a direct current capacity of 410 MWp, along with an 80 MW and 320 MWh battery energy storage system. The project is located in Challakere.

The scope of work covers design, engineering, supply, erection, commissioning, and one year of operations and maintenance support. The total contract value for the agreed scope is around Rs 353 crore.

The project combines solar generation with battery storage to support grid stability and improve the reliability of renewable power supply. Hybrid configurations of this kind are increasingly being deployed to manage the variability of solar output and support higher renewable penetration.

Commenting on the project award, Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director and CEO of Hartek Group, stated:“This project reflects the growing maturity of India’s renewable energy market, where solar generation and storage is coming together as an integrated solution. We are pleased to be working on this large scale solar and battery storage project at Challakere. At Hartek, we have consistently invested in engineering capabilities and execution excellence to deliver complex projects of this scale. This win strengthens our position in the utility scale solar segment and marks an important step forward in our journey into battery energy storage.”

Challakere is emerging as a major clean energy cluster in Karnataka, with multiple large renewable projects under development. The project contributes to the state’s expanding renewable capacity while strengthening Hartek Power’s presence in utility scale solar and storage projects.
