Govt signs MoUs worth Rs5k cr to develop 2,357MW green power
Patna: In a major push for clean energy, the state energy department on Saturday signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with prominent power companies engaged in renewable energy and pumped storage to develop 2,357MW of green power, involving an estimated investment of Rs 5,337 crore. The MoUs were formalised during the launch of two ambitious policies — the Bihar Policy for Promotion of New & Renewable Energy Sources 2025 and the Bihar Policy for Promotion of Pumped Storage Project 2025 — at an event held at Gyan Bhawan. These policies are aimed at fostering green energy development and attracting major investment into the sector. The renewable energy policy is expected to unlock massive opportunities in solar, wind, biomass and newer technologies like green hydrogen and pumped storage systems. Energy minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav formally launched the two policies in the presence of industries minister Nitish Mishra, additional chief secretary of the industries department Mihir Kumar Singh, energy secretary Manoj Kumar Singh and the managing director of Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd (BSPGCL) Mahendra Kumar.

ACME Solar signs pact with NHPC for 275 MW battery storage projects in Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: ACME Solar Holdings has signed Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreements (BESPA) with NHPC for two pioneering Standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, totaling 275 MW/550 MWh, in Andhra Pradesh. The agreements, finalised through wholly owned subsidiaries, mark a significant step in bolstering India's renewable energy infrastructure. The projects, secured via an e-reverse auction on June 24, carry tariffs of INR 2,10,000/MW/month for a 50 MW/100 MWh system and INR 2,22,000/MW/month for a 225 MW/450 MWh system. Supported by the Government of India's Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme, which provides up to INR 27 lakh per MWh or 30% of the project cost (whichever is lower), the projects are set to be commissioned within 18 months from the signing date. Following the issuance of the Letter of Award (LOA) on July 8, 2025, the swift transition to BESPA signing was facilitated by the pre-identification of State as the customer. The State will provide land and evacuation infrastructure, enabling faster project execution. These standalone BESS installations, a first-of-their-kind in the state, will enhance grid stability by storing power during off-peak hours and supplying it during peak demand, aiding the integration of variable renewable sources like solar and wind. Operating under a 'BESS as a service' model, the projects introduce a novel framework where capacity charges are payable, setting a precedent in India's energy sector. This initiative strengthens ACME Solar's portfolio by leveraging large-scale battery procurement and installation, positioning the company as a leader in innovative energy solutions.
