The Keralam government will establish a 2,000 megawatt hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in collaboration with NTPC Ltd as part of addressing the electricity shortage faced by the State, according to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan.

Keralam has also asked NTPC Ltd to develop a dedicated power plant for the State for long-term energy security.
