Once operational, this project is expected to be one of the largest standalone battery energy storage systems globally.
Under this Request for Selection (RfS), the chosen BESS Developer will be responsible for setting up the system, including land identification, installation, and securing necessary approvals for interconnection with the interstate transmission system (ISTS).
While the technology for the storage system is flexible, it must meet the performance requirements outlined in the RfS and Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA).
