अब इन्वर्टर की छुट्टी! Bihar’s Game-Changing Power Backup: 500 MWh Battery Storage to Light Up 15 Cities”
क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि बिजली जाने पर आपका पूरा शहर बिना इन्वर्टर के रोशन रहे?
That future is here—and it’s being built in Bihar. While the rest of India still depends on home inverters, Bihar is leaping ahead with a revolutionary grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) that promises uninterrupted electricity for up to four hours during power cuts.
Just like your home inverter kicks in during a blackout, Bihar’s new storage system will do the same—but for entire towns.
As per the official announcement, 15 sub-grid stations across Bihar will be equipped with battery storage units of 5 to 20 MW capacity, adding up to a total of 125 MW, with a storage capacity of 500 MWh.
This is not just an infrastructure upgrade—it’s a smart energy revolution.
By storing surplus power and releasing it during demand peaks or outages, this project ensures grid stability and energy security.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has approved this ambitious plan under the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme.
The Central Government has sanctioned ₹135 crores, covering ₹27 lakhs per MWh or 30% of the capital cost, whichever is lower.
The execution responsibility lies with Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited (BSPGCL). This ensures transparency and state accountability for timely deployment.
During Bihar’s scorching summers, power demand surges beyond control. This grid-scale BESS offers a solution:
Store power when demand is low.
Release power instantly when needed.
No noise, no diesel, no local inverter hassle.
Support the integration of solar and renewable energy in the future.
This is not just about backup—it’s about building resilience into Bihar’s power grid.
This smart grid system will be implemented in 15 key cities (names to be confirmed in official documents), each equipped with intelligent energy buffers.
Each sub-grid station will handle 5 to 20 MW, depending on city size and power demand. The overall 500 MWh backup will keep essential services, homes, and businesses running smoothly.
With this move, Bihar is not just catching up—it’s setting a benchmark.
From urban centers to tier-2 towns, energy reliability means more productivity, safety, and progress.
And guess what? If implemented efficiently, you may soon no longer need that bulky inverter at home.
