ENGIE India has inked a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for its 280 MW/560 MW standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Gujarat. The capacity was secured in GUVNL’s viability gap funding tender for 2,000 MW/4,000 MWh standalone BESS (Phase-VII) at a tariff of Rs 187,000 per MW per month.
According to the tender guidelines, the scope of work consists of design, construction, and operation of the storage system along with all necessary infrastructure up to the delivery point. It also encompasses the construction of transmission lines and adherence to the metering and dispatch protocols set by the state load dispatch center and GUVNL.
Earlier in January 2026, ENGIE secured a hybrid project, combining 200 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity with a 100 MW/600 MWh BESS under Solar Energy Corporation of India’s national tender.
