Order Update
NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited, has been approved to develop a 250 MW solar power project integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on vacant defense land at Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh. The project has received approval from Defense Minister Shri Rajnath Singh and is the first of its kind, a large-scale solar power project with BESS designed to strengthen the energy security of defense establishments in India.
The integration of battery storage with solar generation is a particularly significant design choice, ensuring round-the-clock power availability rather than intermittent supply, a critical requirement for defense infrastructure.
All power generated from the project will be utilized exclusively by various defense establishments across Uttar Pradesh, making this a fully captive, strategically driven clean energy initiative rather than a commercial generation project. The development underscores the growing role of renewable energy in India’s defense self-sufficiency agenda.
