China’s Eve Energy Signs Battery Deal With India’s Godawari

China’s Eve Energy Co. agreed to supply India’s Godawari New Energy Private Ltd. with large-scale batteries, as a rapid renewable power expansion drives demand for energy storage in the South Asian nation.

The Chinese group will initially provide batteries with a capacity of 8 gigawatt-hours of storage, which could be expanded to 60 gigawatt-hours over the next five years, according to a statement from Eve late Tuesday. The value of the deal and timing around supply of the first batteries wasn’t disclosed.
