KPI Green’s subsidiary has received a Letter of Intent (LoI) from GUVNL for a 445 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). What is your outlook on the role of large-scale storage in India’s energy transition, and how does this project fit into your broader strategy?

The Letter of Intent (LoI) from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for the development of a Standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with an aggregate capacity of 445 MW / 890 MWh marks a significant milestone in our energy transition journey.

This project has been awarded under a tariff-based competitive bidding framework with Viability Gap Funding (VGF) and is subject to execution of the BESPA and regulatory approvals. The structure reflects the growing policy support for storage deployment and highlights the critical role of BESS in strengthening grid stability

As India accelerates renewable energy capacity additions, large-scale storage will be essential to manage intermittency, support peak demand, enable time-shifting of energy, and enhance overall grid reliability. Standalone BESS projects, particularly at this scale, represent the next phase of renewable integration where storage becomes an independent infrastructure asset.

For KP Group, this project aligns seamlessly with our broader strategy of moving beyond pure generation into integrated and dispatchable energy solutions. By combining solar, hybrid, and storage capabilities, we are positioning ourselves to deliver firm and reliable renewable power while supporting India’s evolving grid requirements

The 92.15 MW hybrid project awarded by GUVNL has already begun power supply. What were the key challenges in deploying a hybrid renewable setup, and how is KPI Green optimizing hybrid performance for enhanced grid reliability?

The successful commissioning and early power supply from the 92.15 MWp IPP Hybrid Project reflect our strong execution capabilities and integrated project development expertise. The project comprises 16.95 MW of wind capacity and 75.2 MWp of solar capacity, operating under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with GUVNL.

Deploying a hybrid renewable project involves multiple challenges like synchronizing wind and solar assets, managing resource variability, ensuring grid synchronization, and maintaining construction timelines across parallel workstreams. Achieving timely grid synchronization and power injection ahead of the July 2026 schedule required precise coordination across engineering, procurement, civil works, electrical integration, and commissioning teams.

From an operational standpoint, hybrid systems require advanced forecasting, real-time monitoring, and load optimization to balance the complementary generation profiles of wind and solar. By integrating centralized monitoring systems, performance analytics, and optimized dispatch strategies, KPI Green enhances generation consistency and grid stability.

Hybridization strengthens capacity utilization, improves reliability of renewable power supply,

and supports state utilities in managing variability. The early commencement of power generation not only reinforces our execution discipline but also strengthens predictable revenue streams under the long-term PPA, contributing to a resilient and diversified renewable portfolio.
