In a landmark step towards realizing India’s renewable energy goals, Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is making significant strides in addressing the growing need for large-scale energy storage in the nation’s power grid.

In line with its commitment to ensuring a sustainable energy future, CEA has achieved another major milestone by concurring two more Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) in Maharashtra viz. 1,500 MW Bhavali PSP being developed by JSW Energy Ltd. and 1,000 MW Bhivpuri PSP being developed by Tata Power Co. Ltd.

These PSPs are concurred with the support of the Central Water Commission (CWC), Geological Survey of India (GSI), and Central Soil and Materials Research Station (CSMRS) and were concurred within 10 days of completion of the DPRs i.e., the date on which the complete DPRs were submitted on the ONLINE portal by the developers.

The project developers of these PSPs have indicated that they will fast track the commissioning and complete them in 44 to 46 months i.e., by 2028. These PSPs will collectively provide a storage capacity of more than 15 GWh.
