Bihar has taken a significant step toward expanding its renewable energy capacity with the commissioning of the first phase of the Kajra Solar Power Plant in Lakhisarai district. Developed at an estimated cost of INR 1,810 crore, the initial phase includes a 185 MW solar power facility integrated with a 254 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system. The project is aimed at increasing the share of clean energy in the state's power mix while ensuring reliable electricity supply during peak demand hours. Once fully completed, the Kajra project is expected to play a key role in strengthening Bihar's energy security and sustainability goals.

Under Phase I, a 185 MW solar power plant has been set up along with a 254 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system at an estimated investment of INR 1,810 crore. To enable seamless power evacuation, the associated transmission line and transformer infrastructure have also been successfully energised.
According to state energy officials, the integrated battery storage system will allow the plant to supply uninterrupted electricity for four to five hours during peak demand periods, improving grid stability and reliability.
Work is already underway on the second phase of the project, which involves the construction of a 116 MW solar plant along with a 241 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system at an estimated cost of INR 1,055 crore. The entire Kajra Solar Power Plant is targeted for commissioning by January 2027.
Once completed, the project will have a total installed solar capacity of 301 MW and a cumulative battery energy storage capacity of 495 megawatt-hours, significantly strengthening Bihar's clean energy infrastructure.
