The project – Kilokari BESS Pvt. Ltd. (KBPL), is IndiGrid's maiden commercial BESS endeavour. It has been designed to seamlessly integrate renewable energy into the distribution level grid system, facilitate grid stabilisation, manage peak power demand, and address various ancillary needs. The project was awarded to IndiGrid in October 2023 by BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd. (BRPL).
Commenting on the development, Harsh Shah, Chief Executive Officer, and Whole Time Director of IndiGrid, said, “We are excited to announce commissioning of KBPL on time and within budgets while maintaining the highest level of safety during the construction. Battery energy storage is a key enabler of a resilient and efficient power system in India as the country moves toward a cleaner energy mix. The ability to store and dispatch power intelligently will be essential in maintaining grid stability and optimising renewable integration. This project represents a step forward in that direction, reinforcing our commitment to advancing the country's energy infrastructure with innovative and sustainable solutions.”
IndiGrid owns and operates a diversified portfolio of assets across transmission lines, solar generation, and BESS spread across the length and breadth of the country. Over the last few years, IndiGrid has also successfully ventured into greenfield projects and expansions. And since then, IndiGrid has commissioned six projects under TBCB and RTM for both transmission and BESS.
