Keralam and NTPC Agree on Battery Storage and Power Supply Projects
Keralam Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan met with NTPC CMD Gurdeep Singh to address the state's power needs, resulting in plans to establish a 2,000 MWh battery energy storage system at Kayamkulam. Additional projects include two 80 MWh BESS units at Pothencode and Sreekantapuram, expected by 2027. NTPC will supply up to 300 MW from its Sinnar project and power from Ramagundam, while accelerating a 27 MW solar project in Kayamkulam. NTPC will also support KSEB with technical expertise and management improvements.
