Renewable energy company BluPine Energy is now set to build a 150 MW solar project with an energy storage project at Bikaner in Rajasthan. The company, after winning the bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), is now moving closer to its commissioning. The firm through its Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Solarcraft Power India 17 Private Limited, has announced the signing of a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for a 150 MW solar project integrated with Energy Storage System (ESS) in the state of Rajasthan.

“We are deeply committed to powering India’s decarbonization journey through reliable, round-the-clock renewable energy. The PPA with SECI highlights our ability to pivot with agility as India’s renewable powered grids become resilient. Our 150 MW solar project with integrated energy storage in Rajasthan is designed to deliver firm and dispatchable clean power—addressing intermittency and enhancing grid stability. By integrating cutting-edge solar technology with advanced storage solutions, we are not only meeting today’s energy demands but also shaping a sustainable energy future for India,” said Neerav Nanavaty, CEO, BluPine Energy.

The Ministry of Power’s mandate for energy storage integration in February 2025, is specifically designed to resolve intermittency issues and provide critical support during peak demand hours, ensuring grid stability, reliability, and optimal energy utilization.
