ONGC, Tata Power Renewable sign MoU to collaborate on battery storage solutions

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) connected Wednesday signed an archetypal pact with Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd to research collaborative opportunities successful the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) worth chain.

ONGC has been stringing astir deals successful cleanable vigor arsenic portion of its people to standard renewable vigor capableness to 10 gigawatts by 2030 a portion of its people to execute nett zero c emanation by 2038. Besides star and upwind vigor projects, ONGC is looking astatine round-the-clock renewable powerfulness capableness to conscionable this target.

"ONGC has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Ltd, to research collaborative opportunities successful the BESS worth concatenation astatine India Energy Week 2025," the steadfast said successful a statement.

The pact volition research a scope of applications crossed the BESS worth chain, including utility-scale vigor retention systems, grid stabilisation and ancillary services, renewable vigor integration and hybrid solutions, concern and commercialized vigor retention applications, microgrid and backup powerfulness solutions, and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

"This strategical concern underscores ONGC's committedness to enhancing India's vigor information done the integration of renewable vigor and precocious retention solutions," it said.

ONGC president and CEO Arun Kumar Singh said, "As India transitions towards a sustainable vigor future, ONGC remains steadfast successful its committedness to advancing cleanable vigor initiatives.

"This collaboration with Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited represents a strategical measurement towards strengthening vigor retention capabilities, which are captious for grid stableness and renewable vigor adoption.

Together with ONGC, we purpose to make innovative retention solutions that volition pave the mode for a sustainable and resilient vigor future." This collaboration aligns with India's extremity of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capableness by 2030, reinforcing some companies' committedness to sustainability.

TPREL's palmy commissioning of India's largest Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) task - a 100 MW Solar PV works with 120 MWh Utility-Scale BESS astatine Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh demonstrates its enactment successful deploying precocious vigor retention technologies.

The concern betwixt ONGC and TPREL is simply a important milestone successful fostering technological innovation, vigor efficiency, and sustainability, contributing to the improvement of a robust and resilient vigor infrastructure for the nation.

ONGC is India's largest shaper of crude lipid and earthy gas, accounting for astir 71 per cent of the country's home production.

With a beardown absorption connected sustainability and innovation, ONGC is actively expanding its beingness successful the renewable vigor sector, aligning with India's cleanable vigor objectives.

TPREL has a diversified portfolio encompassing solar, wind, and hybrid vigor projects.
