Soumya K, Chief Executive Officer, Midwest Energy Limited, said:
“India is pursuing an accelerated transition towards a cleaner energy future driven by renewability, sustainability, decarbonisation, and decentralisation. The increasing integration of renewable energy into the power grid is fundamental to achieving these objectives. While it presents challenges such as demand-supply mismatch, grid instability, and supply uncertainties, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) provide a reliable, effective, and fast-deployable solution to address these challenges and enable a resilient, stable, and decarbonised energy ecosystem.
Through this facility, we are building indigenous capabilities to design, manufacture, and deploy advanced energy storage solutions that are proudly designed and made in India. Our vision is to become a trusted long-term partner in supporting the country’s clean energy transition.”
Midwest Energy plans to supply advanced BESS solutions to both domestic and international markets while expanding its portfolio of customised energy storage solutions to meet diverse customer needs. The facility is designed for scalable manufacturing, high product reliability, and globally benchmarked quality standards.
