RE & Energy Storage Advisory & Engineering
BESS & RE design, advisory and modelling for RTC and FDRE, technical & financial due diligence — backed by PMC and independent engineer services.
Utility-scale renewables and storage live or die on the quality of early engineering decisions. Our advisory desk combines resource analytics, detailed engineering and grid expertise so every recommendation is bankable — not just theoretical.
We support developers, industrial off-takers and investors across feasibility studies, BESS & RE detailed design, dispatch modelling, technology selection, owner's engineering and technical & financial due diligence — across solar, wind, small hydro and storage. Our modelling desk advises on Round-The-Clock (RTC) and Firm & Dispatchable RE (FDRE) supply — optimising solar-wind-hydro-storage portfolios against demand profiles, transmission constraints and bid requirements.
Beyond design, we stay accountable through delivery: as Project Management Consultant (PMC) we manage schedule, cost, quality and contractors on the owner's behalf, and as Independent / Lender's Engineer we provide the impartial technical oversight that lenders and investors rely on from construction through operations.
How we deliver
Resource & load analytics
15-minute interval load studies, solar/wind/small-hydro resource assessment and ToD tariff mapping to quantify the real opportunity.
Concept, sizing & RTC/FDRE modelling
BESS power/duration optimisation, hybrid RTC/FDRE portfolio modelling and yield studies with degradation and RTE stress-tests.
Detailed engineering
SLDs, layouts, protection philosophy, grid-connection studies and specifications ready for procurement.
PMC & independent oversight
Project management consultancy through construction, plus independent/lender's engineer reviews and technical & financial due diligence to bankability standards.

Who is winning RE & BESS auctions — results as they land.
The power-sector rulebook, in one place.
Solar, wind, BESS, green hydrogen and small hydro schemes — plus open access, merit order despatch and scheduling prioritisation, from official sources only.
MNRE — technology schemes
Solar programmes — PM-KUSUM, rooftop, PLI (MNRE)
The ministry's solar scheme stack — farmer solarisation, rooftop subsidies and module manufacturing PLI.
Wind & Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy
National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy (2018) and wind bidding framework — hybridisation of existing sites allowed.
National Green Hydrogen Mission (₹19,744 Cr; SIGHT ₹17,490 Cr)
ISTS charge waiver, RE banking and time-bound open access for green hydrogen production.
Small Hydro Power programme
Sub-25 MW hydro — MNRE's SHP scheme, potential mapping and state implementation.
MoP — VGF & market rules
BESS VGF Tranche II (Jun 2025) — 30 GWh, ₹5,400 Cr
VGF at ₹18 lakh/MWh; 25 GWh across 15 states + 5 GWh to NTPC; TBCB for 12-15 years; disbursed 20% at FC, 50% at COD, 30% after year one.
Green Energy Open Access Rules, 2022
Open access from 100 kW sanctioned load, uniform RPO, 15-day nodal processing — the C&I route to green power.
GEOA Procedure Rev 4 (Grid-India, Jul 2024)
Grid-India is the Central Nodal Agency — the operative procedure behind the national open access portal.
CEA / CERC — grid operations
Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) 2023 — must-run & SCED
RE stations carry must-run status; Security Constrained Economic Despatch minimises system generation cost — the merit order in action.
IEGC amendment (Jun 2024) — scheduling prioritisation
Restricts buyers' downward schedule revisions below minimum turndown after 14:30 on D-1 — critical for thermal-RE co-scheduling.
CEA — technical standards & resource adequacy
Connectivity standards, resource adequacy guidelines and national transmission plans underpinning every project.
