Nepra has approved a government move to mandate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for wind and solar Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in an upcoming renewable power auction for 800MW. This regulatory change aims to address electricity supply stability issues, particularly duck curve challenges, and supports Pakistan's shift towards a competitive energy market.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must design your wind or solar projects in Pakistan with integrated battery storage to qualify for the government auction. This shift turns your bidding process into a contest for grid stability solutions, not just energy production.
