Power industry players are seeking revision of Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (AP Transco) tender for setting up India’s largest energy storage project of 400 MW capacity with 8 hours of daily discharge. In a letter to the transmission utility, seen by BusinessLine, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Andhra Pradesh said the EoI invited by AP Transco last month lacked clarity on some of the critical technical and commercial parameters crucial for bidders to design their bids. In order to attract large players and to discover a reasonable tariff, the EoI document should be reviewed and revised.

AP Transco has invited EoI for Energy Shifting Solution of 400 MW with 8 hours of daily discharge (3,200 MWh) in February with date of bid submission set. Energy shifting solution is a storage solution which shifts energy from one time to another for peak load management during the day time. AP Transco official, a meeting with developers took place on February, 25, where the deadline of the bid submission has been extended to March 11. However, no changes have been made in the EoI document
