Sembcorp bags first solar plus energy storage project in India

This is a build-own-operate project.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), through its renewables subsidiary Sembcorp Green Infra Private Limited, has secured a 150 megawatt solar photovoltaic project plus 300 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) in India, its first in the country.

In a statement, Sembcorp said the build-own-operate project is part of a bid for 2 gigawatts (GW) inter-state transmission system-connected solar power projects with 4 gigawatt-hours of BESS issued by Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd.

The BESS will provide on-demand power to support daily peak electricity for four hours for 25 years, subject to the execution of a power purchase agreement (PPA).

Commercial operation is expected within 24 months from the date of signing the PPA and will be funded through a mixture of internal funds and debt.

The project brings Sembcorp’s gross renewables capacity in India to nearly 6 GW, and its global clean energy capacity to 16.5 GW.

The award of the project is in the ordinary course of business and will not have a material impact on the earnings per share and net tangible assets per share of Sembcorp for the financial year ending 31 December 2024.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
