Gujarat has initiated battery storage systems at five locations in the state, with a total capacity of 870 MW, to maintain the stability of the renewable power grid, officials said on Saturday. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing electricity generated from solar and other renewable sources. They help manage additional load and maintain grid stability. "Gujarat has initiated battery storage systems at five locations with a total capacity of 870 MW," an official release stated. The state has also registered 13 projects across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Banaskantha, Patan and Kutch districts to set up additional battery storage systems, it said. Modhera in Gujarat, India's first solar village, has launched the country's first BESS integrated with a solar power plant, it said. "Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, the state has continued to advance in this direction and has strengthened its position among the leading states driving battery .

Tata Power on Thursday said that its arm Tata Power Renewable Energy will invest Rs 6,500 crore in a photovoltaic ingot and wafer manufacturing facility of up to 10 GW capacity. The production of ingot and wafer will support the company's backward integration, the company said in an exchange filing. The Board of Directors of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of the company, approved the proposal to adopt a new line of business, photovoltaic (PV) ingot and wafer manufacturing. The proposed new line of business falls under upstream solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing, specifically PV Ingot and wafer manufacturing. This segment represents a critical part of the solar value chain, supplying key inputs for downstream cell and module manufacturing. The foray into ingot and wafer manufacturing supports backward integration, reduces dependence on imports (currently dominated by China), and positions the company to benefit from India's policy-driven push towards ...
