NEW DELHI: Tata Power on Monday said it has received authorisation from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to establish a 100-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) initiative.
The undertaking shall be implemented across 10 strategically positioned locations in Mumbai during the forthcoming two-year period, Tata Power disclosed in an exchange notification.
The BESS, furnished with sophisticated black start capability, shall facilitate rapid restoration of electrical supply to crucial infrastructure, encompassing the metro, healthcare facilities, airport, and data centres, during grid disruptions.
