Ceigall India Ltd has won a major renewable energy contract to develop a 220 MW solar power project integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Madhya Pradesh. The project, valued at approximately Rs 1,700 crore, was awarded through a competitive bidding process and marks a significant milestone in the company’s clean energy expansion.
The solar-plus-storage project will be developed at Morena Solar Park and is expected to be completed within 24 months, followed by a long-term operational period of 25 years. Ceigall India secured the project with a competitive tariff, reinforcing its growing presence in India’s renewable energy sector.
Why Battery Storage Matters
The inclusion of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a key feature of the project. While solar power generation depends on sunlight availability, battery storage allows surplus energy generated during the day to be stored and supplied during peak demand hours or low-generation periods.
This integration improves:
- Grid stability
- Energy reliability
- Efficient power dispatch
- Reduced renewable curtailment
Solar-plus-storage projects are increasingly seen as the next step in India’s clean energy transition, helping bridge the gap between renewable generation and consistent electricity supply.
Boost to India’s Renewable Energy Goals
The 220 MW project is expected to strengthen renewable capacity in Madhya Pradesh and contribute to India’s broader clean energy targets. As the country accelerates its transition away from fossil fuels, large-scale solar installations combined with storage solutions are becoming essential for ensuring dependable and sustainable power supply.
With this win, Ceigall India further establishes itself as a growing player in infrastructure and renewable energy development, aligning with national efforts to expand non-fossil fuel power generation.
