Context: India’s first Variable Speed Pumped Storage Plant (PSP) at Tehri, Uttarakhand, has commenced commercial operation with a 250 MW unit. About India’s first Variable Speed Pumped Storage Plant: What is it? A 1,000 MW hydropower project designed to store energy by pumping water to an upper. .
Such growth puts India on track to meet its 500 GW by 2030 goal, about 200 GW of which has already been built and underpins its clean-energy commitments on the world stage. The role of energy storage in the renewable ecosystem Energy storage is critical to make this renewable build-out reliable and. .
Energy equipment group GE Vernova said it has commissioned the first of four 250-MW variable speed units at THDC India Limited’s Tehri Pumped Storage Hydropower Plant, part of the Tehri Hydropower Complex. The 1-GW expansion will increase the facility’s power generation capacity to 2.4 GW, making. .
ANDRITZ is actively involved in advising the government on technical, policy, fiscal, and regulatory issues related to energy storage policy. India aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, with an interim target of 50% renewable energy by 2030. As pumped storage power plants could be a key. .
transition away from fossil fuel-based power generation. To this end, a new demand-driven capacity tender model for firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) storage is poised to spark a oom in ESS investment and capacity additions this decade. FDRE is already being embraced by power project. .
The plant, once fully operational, will contribute 1000 MW of flexible hydropower capacity and stands as the largest PSP commissioned by a Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE). Senior officials from the Ministry of Power including Secretary Pankaj Agarwal, Additional Secretary Akash Tripathi.
