E2S Power and India Power Corporation Limited have signed an agreement for a 250 KWh pilot thermal energy storage unit to be operated in India. The pilot unit has been engineered, built, and tested at E2S Power facility in less than nine months. It passed Factory Acceptance Tests and will be delivered to India in the first quarter of 2023.

This is the first step towards implementing E2S solution worldwide. This collaboration will help in transforming thermal power assets into clean energy storage facilities, contributing significantly to the nation's renewable energy growth. This solution can be deployed in the near term to provide urgently needed energy storage while using most of the infrastructure in thermal power plants being retired and safeguarding jobs.

IPCL and E2S Power will work jointly with major companies in the power and renewable energy sector in India to identify, evaluate and offer optimized integrated thermal energy solutions for existing plants being phased out.
