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 World Bank 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.
