THE Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has given approval to the Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (Tantransco) to lease out its substation lands at six locations across the state to private players, virtually free of cost, for setting up a 1,000-MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

The land will be leased at ₹1 per year for a period of 15 years under the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme. Officials said that they have decided to lease out the land for a negligible price so as to prevent developers from hiking their tariffs for storage, which is currently at ₹2.75 per unit, citing higher rents.
