Bondada bags NTPC REL order for 100 MWh battery storage project
Bondada Engineering has secured a contract from NTPC Renewable Energy to develop a 100 MWh Vanadium Redox Flow Battery storage project in Gujarat. The project aims to integrate renewable energy into the national grid using domestic technology.
Why it matters
Advancements in long-duration energy storage are essential for India's transition to renewable energy and reducing reliance on imported battery components.
Bondada Engineering has bagged an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) package from NTPC Renewable Energy (NTPC REL) for developing a 100 MWh Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Energy Storage System (VRFB BESS) at Khavda Solar Park in Gujarat, with Delectrik Systems as the technology partner..
Designed to support integration of renewable energy into national grid, the project will leverage VRFB technology that offers several advantages over conventional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery systems. The technology aligns with India’s vision of strengthening energy security by reducing long-term dependence on imported cells, through the utilisation of domestic vanadium resources or import from diverse sources, Bondada said, announcing the NTPC REL order, which includes 10 years of operations and maintenance.
