The Indian oil Naturgy Tripura Power Company (OTPC) and Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) jointly set up a joint venture to put an electrochemical energy storage system with a capacity of 250MW/500MWh into operation in Assam, India.
It is reported that the initial investment of the project is about 20 billion Indian rupee. The construction of the project in batches will effectively improve the power supply in Assam, India, during peak power consumption, and increase the reliability of new energy power generation and grid.
It is understood that the estimated solar power generation potential in Assam is 13.76GWp. As of April 30, 2023, India has accumulated 147.92MW of photovoltaic capacity. India has developed a large amount of solar capacity, including 1GW of floating photovoltaic capacity from SJNN and another 1GW of solar capacity jointly developed by NLC.
