NEW DELHI | 8 May, 2025 — The GEAPP Leadership Council (GLC) today officially announced the launch of India's first utility-scale, standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, the largest of its kind in South Asia. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are large-scale batteries used to store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind for later use. Construction of the 285MWh giant container-like battery system was built in just six. . With many countries in the region looking to transition to renewable energy sources, the integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is emerging as a game-changer in the way energy is produced, stored, and distributed. BESS offers an innovative way to manage power supply and demand. .
