en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL) plans to commission 1,000 MWh of its planned 6,000 MWh battery energy storage project by September, with the remaining capacity expected to be completed by September 2027.

This initiative aims to enhance grid reliability, reduce renewable energy curtailment, and more effectively manage surplus solar power generation. Additionally, the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation has proposed adding a 6,000 MWh battery energy storage project integrated with 2,450 MW of solar capacity at the under-construction Pugal Solar Park. However, the project is awaiting approval from the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) before tendering begins. This plan follows the introduction of battery energy storage system regulations by the RERC, which provide guidelines for the planning, procurement, ownership, and operation of storage assets.

The regulations support renewable energy integration, peak demand management, voltage and frequency control, congestion mitigation, and ancillary services. They allow utilities, developers, and consumers to own storage systems, while requiring competitive bidding for large-scale projects to encourage investment and efficient deployment.
