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.

Juniper Green Energy has fully commissioned its 75 MW Tata hybrid project in Maharashtra following the commissioning of 36.25 MWp of solar capacity at Bhigwan in Pune district. The project, developed through Juniper Green Beam Eight Private Limited, a subsidiary of Juniper Green Energy, comprises 36.25 MWp of solar and 50 MW of wind capacity. It has been developed under a 75 MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tata Power.

The solar component is connected to the Bhigwan substation in Pune district, while the wind component is connected to the Nilanga substation in Latur district. The 50 MW wind component was commissioned in phases during July and August 2026. With the commissioning of the Bhigwan solar capacity, the entire 75 MW hybrid project is now operational. The project combines solar and wind generation across two locations in Maharashtra, with Tata Power serving as the offtaker under the PPA.

The commissioning also adds Tata Power to Juniper Green Energy’s growing customer base, which includes discoms, utilities and other power consumers. Ankush Malik, whole-time director and CEO, Juniper Green Energy, said the completion of the project marks another milestone in the company’s expansion of its renewable energy portfolio and diversification of its offtake base.

“Completing the project with the commissioning of the Bhigwan solar capacity demonstrates our ability to execute integrated solar and wind projects across multiple locations while maintaining a strong focus on timely delivery. We remain focused on expanding our operational portfolio and building a diversified renewable energy platform that can support India’s growing demand for clean and reliable power,” Malik said. Following the commissioning, Juniper Green Energy’s aggregate operational renewable energy capacity has reached approximately 2,725 MWp, along with 503 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity.

The company has a total renewable energy portfolio of more than 11 GWp and 8.9 GWh of BESS capacity. The portfolio includes operational, under-construction, contracted and awarded projects. Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer focused on utility-scale solar, wind, hybrid and firm and dispatchable renewable energy projects. The company has been developing renewable energy assets in India since October 2018, with capabilities spanning project development, construction and operations.

The commissioning of the Tata hybrid project adds to the company’s operating portfolio at a time when hybrid renewable energy projects are gaining importance in India’s power market, as developers combine different renewable generation sources to support more consistent power supply.
