Hindustan Power to develop 120 MWh battery storage system in Bihar

Hindustan Power has received a Letter of Intent (LoI) from Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited (BSPGCL) to develop a 120 MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS). 

The project was awarded through tariff-based competitive bidding.

The storage capacity will be distributed across three substations in Bihar—Bhagalpur, Udakishanganj, and Sitamarhi—with 40 MWh installed at each site. The initiative is part of the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s approved 500 MWh BESS programme aimed at strengthening grid flexibility and managing peak demand.
