ENGIE enters India’s utility-scale energy storage market
24th November 2025
ENGIE has announced that it has achieved a major milestone in its India growth journey by winning its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with a capacity of 280 MW/560 MWh
Awarded under Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited’s (GUVNL) national tender for 2 GW/4 GWh, the GUVNL BESS project is scheduled for commissioning in 2027. It will store up to 2 hours of electricity, absorbing excess generation during low-demand periods and delivering power during peak consumption
As of June 30, 2025, ENGIE had nearly 2 GW of wind and solar project capacity in operation or under construction in India, supporting the country’s ambition to reach 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030. In India, where solar and wind are expanding rapidly, large-scale storage systems are critical to delivering clean power on demand and ensuring grid stability. As a strategic growth market for ENGIE, the Group aims to increase its installed renewable energy and storage capacity in India to 7 GW by 2030
This new development also strengthens ENGIE’s global position in battery energy storage. As of June 30, 2025, the Group’s BESS portfolio in operation or under construction totaled 5.6 GW, contributing to its goal of reaching 95 GW of renewable and storage capacity by 2030
