The 2450 MW Pugal Solar park being built in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan, India, is set to become the world’s largest solar energy park. It will incorporate a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) of 5000 MWh.

The project is being developed under a ‘plug and play’ model, where all necessary facilities such as roads, drainage systems, boundary fencing, and power infrastructure are being prepared in advance.

The project is being undertaken by Rajasthan Solar Park Development Company Limited (RSDCL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL).

Debmalya Sen, Chairman of the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), said: The proposed solar BESS plant in Rajasthan will be one of the largest plants in the world. It will prove to be a major game-changer for India in the energy sector.”
