Enrich Energy has marked a significant entry into the battery energy storage segment by securing its first major order in the BESS space—a 290 MWh project from NTPC Limited. The project was awarded through a competitive bidding process initiated in September 2025.
The project will be deployed at NTPC’s Simhadri Thermal Power Station located in Andhra Pradesh, representing a key milestone in integrating energy storage solutions with conventional thermal infrastructure.
Under the scope of the project, Enrich Energy will undertake end-to-end installation and integration of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The project includes deployment of advanced systems such as battery units, Battery Management Systems (BMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), SCADA, Power Conversion Systems (PCS), and inverter-duty transformers.
Additionally, the scope covers 33 kV pooling switchgear, protection and communication systems, auxiliary systems, fire safety infrastructure, and remote monitoring and control capabilities. Enrich will also be responsible for operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the project.
Commenting on the development, Ishwar Mangal, Board Member and Executive Chairman of Enrich Energy, stated that securing the project marks a milestone for the company and reflects its growing capabilities in delivering scalable and reliable energy storage solutions. He further emphasized the critical role of energy storage in supporting a renewable-led grid and highlighted the company’s readiness to contribute to India’s energy transition.
With this development, Enrich Energy is expanding its focus beyond conventional solar solutions to integrated energy transition offerings, including standalone BESS, solar-plus-storage hybrid systems, and behind-the-meter applications. The company has also strengthened its EPC and O&M capabilities while establishing strategic partnerships across the supply chain to support its growth in the energy storage segment.
