Indian energy storage battery shell

How can India boost battery energy storage systems deployment?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) allow for energy storage in batteries for later use. India has committed to achieve 50 per cent of installed capacity from non-fossil-fuel-based sources by 2030.

Will India's first battery energy storage system be regulated in 2024?

New Delhi | 08 May 2024 — In a significant step forward for India’s energy transition, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has granted regulatory approval of India’s first commercial standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project.

What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?

As India progresses towards a greener and more sustainable energy future, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical solution for energy storage, grid stability, and renewable energy integration.

Can battery storage systems be integrated across the energy value chain?

Battery storage systems can be integrated across the energy value chain. They can be coupled with all three parts of any energy system: generation, transmission, and distribution. Here’s how BESS systems can be integrated:

What is a battery energy storage system?

This is where Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) come in. They can help smooth out the fluctuating nature of renewable sources. Consumers (both industrial and residential) also benefit through lower peak energy costs, reduced carbon footprints, and consistent power supply.

What will India's energy storage requirements be in 2026-27?

They are now a key part of energy plans, especially those using solar and wind energy. According to the National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2023, unveiled by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), India’s storage requirement from BESS will rise to 34.72 GWh in 2026-27.
