Indian power conglomerate Tata Power has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian government of Assam to build up to 5GW of renewables.
Construction has started on a 400MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) that will be co-located with Acen Australia's 720MW New England solar PV power plant in New South Wales, Australia.
Even if added later, storage should not be overlooked in the design and building phase when co-locating with solar PV, write Grant Reasor, Joshua Tucker and Dan Rollins Burns & McDonnell.
