Chhattisgarh Leads the Way: India¡¯s Largest Solar Plant with Battery Storage

Chhattisgarh has made a significant leap in renewable energy by constructing India¡¯s largest solar plant, featuring a capacity of 100 MW, with battery storage of 3 hours (or 40 MW/120 MWh). This innovative project, supported by the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ and Climate Investment Fund, enables the storage of solar energy generated during the day for use during peak evening demand, marking a first for India on such a large scale. The plant is strategically located on 450 acres of wasteland, preserving forest and agricultural land, and utilizes advanced solar module technology to maximize energy generation. This initiative is a critical step toward India¡¯s goal of integrating 500 GW of renewable energy into its grid by 2030, setting a precedent for future renewable projects across the country.
