Recently, Reliance NU Energy Pvt., an arm of Reliance Power, received a Letter of Award from SJVN Ltd. for a 350 MW inter-state transmission system-connected solar power project coupled with a 175 MW/700 MWh Battery Energy Storage System. This will add 600 MW of solar DC capacity and 700 MWh of battery energy storage system capacity to Reliance Power’s portfolio.
After the order win, the company’s total clean energy pipeline stands at 2.4 GW of Solar DC capacity and over 2.5 GWH of BESS capacity.
The reason why Reliance Power's shares are witnessing such an upsurge, says Kranthi Bathini of WealthMills Securities, is owing to sectoral tailwinds, given the power sector is in an uptrend. "Reliance Power has been a wealth destroyer in the past 15 years," he stated, asserting that the stock is suitable only for high-risk traders.
