Juniper Green Energy Limited has fully commissioned its 100 MWh merchant Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project at Bikaner, Rajasthan, through its subsidiary Juniper Green Cosmic Private Limited, marking the company’s entry into operational merchant energy storage in India.
The project has successfully completed trial operations and received the necessary approval from the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NRLDC). Commercial operations for the entire 100 MWh capacity commenced on January 23, 2026.
With this commissioning, the Bikaner project has emerged as one of the largest operational BESS installations in India, offering merchant revenue opportunities through peak power arbitrage, grid balancing services, and participation in ancillary service markets. The project positions Juniper Green Energy among early movers in India’s evolving energy storage ecosystem.
Juniper Green Energy partnered with global renewable energy major Envision Energy for the supply and installation of the energy storage systems at the Bikaner facility.
Battery Energy Storage Systems are increasingly being recognised as a critical enabler of India’s energy transition, supporting grid stability, higher renewable energy integration, peak demand management, and improved utilisation of transmission infrastructure. As part of its long-term strategy, Juniper Green Energy plans to deploy BESS capacity across its solar projects connected to the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS), creating an integrated renewable-plus-storage platform.
Commenting on the development, Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy, said, “With India’s first merchant BESS now fully commissioned, Juniper Green Energy reaffirms its leadership in energy storage innovation. This milestone unlocks new revenue streams while bolstering grid stability and accelerating our renewable energy mission.”
In parallel, the company has already installed 400 MWh of BESS capacity at Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, which is expected to be commissioned by Q1 2026, further strengthening Juniper Green Energy’s storage portfolio and long-term growth outlook.
