Rajesh Power Services Limited (RPSL) has announced its entry into utility-scale battery energy storage after receiving a Letter of Intent from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for a 65 MW / 130 MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Gujarat. The project involves the development of a standalone battery storage facility at Virpore and has been awarded through tariff-based competitive bidding, supported by Viability Gap Funding under the Power System Development Fund. The project is scheduled to be completed within 18 months from the signing of the Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement.
A 65 MW / 130 MWh BESS can deliver power for up to two hours, supporting peak demand management, grid stability, and the integration of renewable energy. The project forms part of Gujarat’s broader plan to develop 2,000 MW / 4,000 MWh of battery storage capacity across the state.
Commenting on the development, Kurang Panchal, Managing Director, Rajesh Power Services Limited, said, “As renewable energy capacity increases, battery storage is becoming essential for grid reliability and flexibility. This project marks an important step for Rajesh Power as we expand into grid-scale energy storage under a Build, Own and Operate model.”
