As per the bid document on the SECI website, the selection of a solar power developer (SPD) for the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) grid-connected project with 1000 MW/4000 MWh Energy Storage Systems (ESS) will be under a tariff-based competitive bidding (SECI-ISTS-XX) process.
As per the National Electricity Plan published by the Central Electricity Authority, in order to integrate the 364 GW of solar and 121 GW of wind capacity by 2031-32, India would require 73.93 GW/411.4 GWh of storage capacity (26.69 GW/175.18 GWh from PSP - Pumped Storage Project - and 47.24 GW/236.22 GWh from BESS).
The minimum capacity that can be quoted is 50 MW, and the maximum allowed is 600 MW, in multiples of 10 MW. Developers must include a storage component of at least 0.5 MW/3 MWh per MW of solar capacity.
The ESS must be physically situated at the solar project sites. The projects must be commissioned within 24 months from the effective date of the power purchase agreement (PPA), with an additional six-month window for delays. The PPA tenure is 25 years.
