NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has commissioned 68.22 MW of solar power capacity as part of its 200 MW Dahod Solar Project in Gujarat, marking another addition to the company’s renewable energy portfolio.

The 68.22 MW capacity represents the third phase of the Dahod Solar Project and was declared on commercial operation with effect from July 23, 2026. The commercial operation was formally certified by the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) on September 17, 2026.

The project is being executed through NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy. Following the commissioning, the total installed capacity of the NTPC Green Energy group increased from 10,842.86 MW to 10,911.08 MW.

The Dahod project forms part of NGEL’s ongoing expansion of utility-scale renewable energy assets across India. The commissioning of the latest phase adds further solar generation capacity in Gujarat and contributes to the company’s growing renewable energy portfolio.

The development comes alongside another capacity addition by NTPC REL in Gujarat. On September 19, 2026, 9.45 MW of the Vanki Wind Energy Project in Nakhatrana, Kutch, was also declared commercially operational. With this addition, the NTPC Green Energy group’s total installed capacity rose further to 10,920.53 MW.

The latest commissioning activity reflects the phased development approach adopted for large renewable energy projects, with capacity being brought into commercial operation in multiple parts as individual sections become ready.

NTPC Green Energy continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio through solar, wind, hybrid renewable energy and energy storage projects. Its recent project activity includes solar capacity additions in Gujarat and Rajasthan, along with developments in battery energy storage and round-the-clock renewable power. The company has also secured additional renewable energy opportunities, including a 500 MW capacity award in SECI’s assured peak power tender and 200 MW/800 MWh standalone BESS capacity in West Bengal.

With the latest Dahod commissioning, NGEL’s renewable generation portfolio continues to scale, while the phased addition of projects across Gujarat and other states strengthens its contribution to India’s expanding clean-energy generation base.

HEXA Renewables Japan Co., Ltd. has finalized an off-site corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with energy retailer Ebara Environmental Plant Co., Ltd. to supply renewable solar electricity to Ebara Corporation’s manufacturing facility in Kumamoto, Japan.

Under the agreement, electricity will be generated at a high-voltage solar power plant located in Arao City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The project will operate under a non-FIT model, allowing the renewable electricity to be supplied through a corporate power procurement arrangement rather than Japan’s Feed-in Tariff scheme.

The solar power generated at the Arao City facility will be delivered to Ebara Corporation’s Kumamoto Plant through Ebara Environmental Plant. The agreement also covers the transfer of environmental attributes and sustainability credentials associated with the renewable electricity. This will enable the participating companies to account for the environmental benefits linked to the clean power supply.

The operation and management of the solar generation facility will be handled by HEXA Energy Services G.K. through its group company, HEXA Renewables Japan. Both companies are part of I Squared Capital, a global infrastructure investment firm with operations and assets across more than 70 countries.

The corporate PPA is expected to support Ebara Corporation’s efforts to increase renewable electricity consumption at its manufacturing operations while contributing to regional decarbonization efforts in Kumamoto.

The arrangement reflects the growing use of off-site corporate PPAs in Japan as companies seek long-term access to renewable electricity and environmental attributes. Such agreements are becoming an important mechanism for industrial consumers to reduce emissions associated with electricity consumption and advance sustainability targets.

The initiative also supports Japan’s broader efforts to expand renewable energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By connecting renewable generation with industrial electricity demand, the project demonstrates how corporate procurement can contribute to the development of clean energy infrastructure.

Cleantech company GEON has commissioned a 10 MW/20 MWh utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Phalodi, Rajasthan, adding new energy storage capacity to the state’s renewable energy ecosystem.

Known as GEON BESS Project-2, the facility was commissioned on September 2, 2026, for a renewable energy Independent Power Producer (IPP). The project is among the early storage assets to receive regulatory approval under the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) Green Energy Open Access Regulations, 2025.

The BESS has been developed to support renewable power integration and utilisation through open access arrangements. GEON managed the project’s end-to-end execution, covering key technical components including battery system containerisation, Power Conversion Systems (PCS) and Energy Management Systems (EMS).

Before commissioning, the project underwent multiple stages of testing, including factory acceptance testing, pre-commissioning and site acceptance testing.

The Phalodi BESS is designed to support commercial and industrial consumers in managing electricity demand and improving the economics of renewable power procurement. By storing electricity generated from clean energy sources and discharging it during periods of higher demand, the system can help reduce dependence on peak-period grid electricity.

The project can also provide an alternative to conventional grid banking arrangements, giving industrial consumers greater flexibility in managing their electricity supply. Similar BESS systems can be deployed at industrial facilities or at off-site open access generation hubs depending on consumer requirements.

With renewable energy capacity continuing to expand across India, energy storage is gaining importance for managing variable generation and supporting reliable power supply. The Phalodi project highlights the potential role of BESS in open access markets and in helping commercial and industrial consumers access more flexible, lower-carbon electricity.

GEON said scalable energy storage infrastructure can help businesses optimise power procurement, manage peak demand and support the transition towards reliable, round-the-clock renewable energy.
