BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) has announced a partnership with energy software company Sheru to develop the country’s first vehicle-to-grid station. The partnership would also help in easing pressure on power demand and in strengthening the power grid.
Sheru’s proprietary bidirectional battery-swapping station would provide swappable batteries for electric two wheelers, three wheelers, and rickshaws and help power their mobility. The same station would also support BRPL’s power requirement during periods of peak power need.
Shikhar Sharma, COO, Sheru, highlighted the company’s provision of cutting-edge solutions for the power sector and their collaboration with BSES to ensure round-the-clock power from renewable energy sources. Sheru’s innovative approach involves utilising the idle battery space of electric vehicles (EVs) to address the high capital expenditure (CAPEX) associated with standalone battery storage. This solution not only solves the CAPEX challenge for BSES but also generates income for EV and battery owners.
