SJVN has invited proposals from battery energy storage system developers to set up 375 MW/1500 MWh standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Uttar Pradesh with viability gap funding. Selection of BESS developers will be carried out through e-bidding followed by e-reverse auction process.
The selected developers will develop the BESS on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. SJVN will enter into a battery energy storage purchase agreement (BESPA) with the developers for a period of 20 years. The energy storage facility procured by SJVN from the BESS has been provisioned to be sold to Uttar Pradesh Power Corp. Ltd (UPPCL).
“100% of the contracted capacity shall be off-taken by UPPCL from the project to be set up under this RfS,” states the tender document.
The minimum bid capacity is 500 MWh (125 MW x 4 hours) and the maximum project capacity is 750 MWh (187.50 MW x 4 hours). The project capacity should be quoted in multiples of 250 MWh only.
Land identification and allocation for the project is under the scope of UPPCL/UPPTCL. “Land will be provided on lease/right-to use basis to the BESS developer through suitable agreement with UPPCL/UPPTCL, and the same shall be facilitated by SJVN,” stated the tender document.
