Singapore based Zelestra has been awarded a Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) contract by SJVN ( Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam), to develop a 500 MW hybrid project in Solapur, Maharashtra. The project includes 250 MW DC of solar, 180 MW of wind, and a 90 MW battery energy storage system, with commissioning planned for 2027.
