The largest Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) project in India has been built at Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, by Tata Power Solar Systems Limited (TPSSL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL). It includes a 120 MWh Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a 100 MW Solar PV Project.

In December 2021, TPSSL received a ₹945 crore project by SECI, which it will manage from the engineering stage through construction and project commissioning. The project is expected to generate an estimated 243.53 million units of energy annually and reduce the carbon footprint of 4.87 million tonnes in 25 years, contributing significantly to India's renewable energy goals, the company said, adding that the project was completed on time despite challenges like unsuitable soil conditions and remote location.

Bifacial Mono Crystalline technology was employed for 239,685 modules. "The successful commissioning of the largest solar and battery storage project for SECI reflects the technical expertise and project execution skills of Tata Power Solar. This will ensure round-the-clock green energy and accelerate the renewable energy transition through innovative solutions," said Deepesh Nanda, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited.

TPSSL's solar EPC portfolio includes more than 12.8 GWp (gigawatt peak) of ground-mount utility-scale, over 2 GW of rooftop and distributed ground-mounted systems. The company's solar EPC portfolio includes more than 12.8 GWp of ground-mount utility-scale, over 2 GW of rooftop and distributed ground-mounted systems, and over one lakh solar water pumps.
