ENGIE, a global leader in low-carbon energy and services, has secured a hybrid Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in India through a competitive bidding process conducted by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The project comprises 200 MW of solar capacity integrated with a 100 MW / 600 MWh energy storage system, marking ENGIE’s first Solar + Storage hybrid project in the Indian market.
The award represents a significant milestone in ENGIE’s growing energy storage portfolio in India. With nearly 2 GW of renewable assets currently operational or under construction, the company continues to strengthen its role in delivering firm, round-the-clock renewable power. The project follows ENGIE’s earlier Battery Energy Storage System project of 280 MW / 560 MWh, secured in November 2025, underscoring the company’s strategic focus on long-duration storage solutions.
Commenting on the development, Amit Jain, CEO and Country Manager, ENGIE India, said the integration of large-scale solar with long-duration battery storage is critical to supporting India’s ambition for 24/7 clean power and improving grid resilience as renewable penetration increases.
The project will now advance into the engineering, procurement, and regulatory approval phases, followed by construction. ENGIE will work closely with technology partners, suppliers, and relevant authorities to ensure timely execution and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The award further reinforces ENGIE’s position as a long-term partner in India’s clean energy and energy storage transition, contributing to a more resilient, secure, and low-carbon power system aligned with the country’s renewable energy and storage deployment goals.
