The 100 MWh battery energy storage system by Juniper Green Energy has been fully commissioned at Bikaner, Rajasthan, and is the first of its kind in India’s merchant storage market.
The project entered commercial operation on January 23, 2026, following trial operations and receiving an indication to proceed from the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre.
Partially to Full Capacity.
By December 2025, the company had brought 60 MWh online. The remaining capacity is operational and is currently one of the largest battery storage projects in the country.
The Juniper Green Energy project has been established by its subsidiary, Juniper Green Cosmic Private Limited. The company partnered with Envision Energy, a global player in renewable energy, to supply and install the storage systems at the Bikaner plant.
There are several Revenue Streams in Play
The merchant model implies that Juniper is not associated with a single buyer. Instead, there are several cash-generating opportunities the company can exploit.
Peak arbitrage involves storing power during low-price periods and selling it when prices rise. Additional revenue alternatives to the mix are grid balancing services and ancillary participation in the market.
The flexibility puts the merchant storage projects at an advantage over the traditional contracted arrangements.
Increased Storage Capacity on the Way
Juniper is not just going to Bikaner. The company has already erected 400 MWh of battery storage at Fatehgarh, Rajasthan. Juniper plans to put that project online by the end of Q1 2026.
The company’s total operational capacity is approximately 1.66 GWp as of mid-January 2026.
In the future, Juniper will introduce battery storage at all of its solar locations connected to the interstate transmission grid. The goal is to create a hybrid solar-plus-storage facility that allows for future expansion.
What the Company Says
Ankush Malik, the CEO of Juniper Green Energy, said that the commissioning was a leadership moment for the company.
He said this milestone would open new sources of revenue, stabilise the grid, and accelerate our renewable energy mission.
Battery storage is regarded as one of the major clean energy technologies in India. It will be used to smooth grid variability, store surplus renewable energy and peak operations.
