A firmed solar award to a domestic EPC, tracked as part of our tender tracker.
Waaree Renewable solar-plus-storage project
Solar capacity
291 MWp
Configuration
Solar + storage
Stage
Awarded
Nearly 300 MWp of solar awarded with storage attached — a reminder that the battery is now part of the base scope, not an upgrade.
pv magazine India ↗What it means
The capacity is quoted in MWp — peak direct-current solar capacity — which is a generation number, not a storage number. Because the battery’s power and energy are not stated, no duration can be derived, and the storage share of such projects varies widely depending on whether the offtaker wants evening-peak cover or simple ramp smoothing.
What the award signals is the shape of demand. Utility-scale solar in India is increasingly tendered and won with storage bundled in, the same logic driving the assured-peak and FDRE rounds and the state procurement mapped in our India BESS policy overview. For an EPC, that changes the job: sizing the battery becomes part of winning the bid rather than a later engineering detail.
