Jupiter Electric Mobility (JEM) which is one of the subsidiaries of Jupiter Wagons Limited has officially unveiled its new brand of containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that is a significant entry into the clean energy storage in India. The new 10-foot and 20-foot air-cooled modular units have scalable storage capacity of 241 kWh to 3 MWh.
Their designs are designed to work across a wide range of applications such as diesel generators, solar storage, energy shifting and backup power to the commercial and industrial customer.
Initial Commercial Implementation
It has rolled out the first 10-foot BESS unit under a strategic alliance with the CK Birla Group company, GMMCO and sold it to Greenlit, a subsidiary of Recube and based in Mumbai, which serves the needs of the events, entertainment, and hospitality industries.
