GE Vernova has received an order from Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) to supply nine 150 MW pumped-storage units for the 1.35 GW hydropower plant in India.
Once operational, the project is expected to store and supply electricity equal to the yearly power consumption of nearly three million Indian households.
The Upper Sileru facility is being developed to provide long-duration energy storage and support the integration of renewable energy into the grid, especially solar and wind power. The plant will be able to switch between pumping and power-generation modes, helping meet peak electricity demand, balance the grid, and regulate frequency.
