The company, founded by Ratul Puri, has been awarded a Letter of Intent (LoI) from Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd for developing a 120 MWh Standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) across three critical grid substations in Bihar, the statement said.
The installations will be developed at Bhagalpur (40MWh), Udakishanganj (40MWh) and Sitamarhi (40MWh), the integrated power generation company said.
The scheduled commissioning date for the full capacity is set for 18 months from the effective date of the Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA).
As part of the Central government-approved 500 MWh battery energy storage system project in Bihar, this initiative will not only ensure an uninterrupted and high-quality power supply but also help balance demand and supply during peak hours.
In April 2025, Hindustan Power secured a 425 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh through a competitive e-reverse auction conducted by Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited, with a 25-year power purchase agreement and a commissioning timeline of 24 months
