<p>Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), an engineering, procurement and construction firm in India, is on the lookout for a battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturer to form a partnership or joint venture (JV) to participate in National Thermal Power Corporation’s (NTPC’s) tender to develop 25 MW of solar with BESS in Andaman &amp; Nicobar.</p>
<p>The BHEL issued two separate tenders, one for developing a BESS for NTPC’s 17 MW Solar PV project in Manglutan, South Andaman, and another for a BESS for NTPC’s 8 MW Solar PV project in Chidiyatapu, Andaman &amp; Nicobar.</p>
<p>A BHEL official told Mercom, “The NTPC is looking for an EPC contractor who will develop the projects along with the BESS, hence the BHEL is on the lookout for a BESS manufacturer to partner so that BHEL can participate in NTPC’s tender.”</p>
<p>When contacted an NTPC official involved in the development of solar project in Andaman &amp; Nicobar said, “To be eligible to develop the projects in question (8 MW at Chidiyatapu and 17 MW at Manglutan) the bidder has to provide the BESS.”</p>
<p>In May, the NTPC issued two separate tenders, one for a <a href="https://mercomindia.com/ntpc-tenders-3-2-mw-battery-energy-storage-system-8-mw-solar-project-andaman-nicobar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3.2 MW, 3.2 MWh</a> battery storage system for the 8 MW Chidiyatapu solar project, and a <a href="https://mercomindia.com/ntpc-tenders-6-mw-battery-energy-storage-system-17-mw-solar-project-south-andaman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 MW 24 MWh</a>  battery storage system for the 17 MW Manglutan solar project.</p>
<p>The NTPC official further said, “There was a ministerial meeting where it was decided that the EPC contractor will also provide the BESS to ensure rapid completion by a single entity.”</p>
<p>Although BHEL is looking to add battery storage projects to their pipeline, it is worth noting that the SECI had <a href="https://mercomindia.com/seci-cancels-950-mw-solar-tenders-plans-re-tender-renegotiates-states-lower-tariff/">cancelled</a> 300 MW solar projects with BESS under NSM Phase-II, Batch-4, in July 2017.</p>
