New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI) Sembcorp Green Infra, an arm of Singapore- based Sembcorp Industries, has secured a 150 megawatt power project from state-owned SJVN.

The firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) project integrates advanced solar, wind and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enable reliable energy dispatch during peak demand.

The build-own-operate project is part of SJVN's 1500 MW/6,000MWh tender for assured peak power from Inter-State Transmission System connected renewable energy projects integrated with energy storage systems, Sembcorp Industries said in a statement on Tuesday.

As part of the project, Sembcorp will install approximately 750 MW comprising solar and BESS to meet the contracted capacity.


Subject to the execution of a 25-year power purchase agreement with SJVN, the project is expected to achieve commercial operation within 24 months of signing and will be funded through a mix of internal funds and debt.

With a secured development pipeline of over 4GW in solar and wind capacity, and more than 1.4GWh of BESS, Sembcorp is well placed to support India's growing need for flexible and round-the-clock renewable power," A Nithyanand, CEO, Renewables Business, India, Sembcorp Industries, said.
