The Uttarakhand project involves the supply and commissioning of approximately ₹100 crore of BESS system, marking a significant expansion into a new state for JEM Energy. Additionally, the company received the formal Letter of Award from West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) for a 50 MW/200 MWh standalone BESS project at the Jeerat 132 kV substation in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, which was secured in August 2026.
