India''s First Commercial Utility-Scale Battery
New Delhi | 08 May 2024 — In a significant step forward for India''s energy transition, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has granted
Renew Power, one of India's largest renewable energy companies, has recently forayed into energy storage solutions. The company is deploying utility-scale battery storage systems to enhance grid stability and integrate renewable energy into the grid more effectively. 7. Okaya Power Group
In February, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) commissioned India's largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), powered by solar energy.
As of March 2024, India achieved a significant milestone, with a total installed energy storage capacity of 219.1 MWh, or roughly 111.7 MW. This reflects the country's commitment to advancing energy storage technology and improving its energy infrastructure.
Battery energy storage is a key enabler of a resilient and efficient power system in India as the country moves toward a cleaner energy mix. The ability to store and dispatch power intelligently will be essential in maintaining grid stability and optimising renewable integration.
The India One Solar Thermal Energy Storage System is a 1 MW solar thermal power plant located in Abu Road, Rajasthan, India. It uses thermal energy storage to provide round-the-clock power. Commissioned in 2017, the project was designed, developed, and installed by Brahma Kumaris and the World Renewal Spiritual Trust (WRST).
With a significant increase in renewable energy generation capacity, it is imperative that storage facilities are developed to help India and the world transition to clean energy. With an annual tariff nearly 55% lower than the previous benchmark, the project sets a new standard for BESS affordability in India.
