SJVN to Develop 1800 MW Kotpali Pumped Storage Project in Chhattisgarh

SJVN has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Chhattisgarh and Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Limited (CSPGCL) to develop the 1800 MW Kotpali Pumped Storage Project (PSP) in Balrampur district. With an estimated investment of Rs 95 billion, the project is expected to generate 3,967 million units of electricity annually. The MoU was formalised in the presence of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and key officials from SJVN and the state government.

Industry and Market Outlook India's renewable energy sector is witnessing rapid expansion, with pumped storage projects emerging as critical enablers for grid stability and energy security. As the country advances towards its 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030, pumped storage solutions like the Kotpali PSP are gaining prominence for their ability to balance fluctuations in renewable energy generation.

Chhattisgarh, traditionally known for its thermal power production, is now diversifying into renewable energy to support its long-term sustainability goals. The Kotpali PSP, designed as an off-stream closed-loop system, will play a pivotal role in storing surplus power during off-peak hours and supplying it during high-demand periods, thus improving grid efficiency.

The project is expected to create 5,000 direct and indirect jobs during its construction phase, further boosting the region’s economy. With increasing investments in energy storage solutions, the Kotpali PSP sets a precedent for similar initiatives across India, reinforcing the nation’s transition towards a resilient and green energy ecosystem.
