Current energy storage landscape in India India’s energy storage sector is still emerging, but growth and planning are rapid. Today, pumped hydro storage provides most bulk storage (existing projects total only a few gigawatts and hundreds of megawatt-hours), while grid-scale batteries are just beginning to roll out.
“In recent auctions, battery energy storage system tenders in Maharashtra and Rajasthan secured tariffs as low as Rs219,000-221,000 per megawatt (MW) a month (US$2,561-$2,586/MW/month), representing almost a 40% reduction compared with non-VGF projects with similar specifications,” he added.
India’s energy storage sector is still emerging, but growth and planning are rapid. Today, pumped hydro storage provides most bulk storage (existing projects total only a few gigawatts and hundreds of megawatt-hours), while grid-scale batteries are just beginning to roll out. Looking ahead, analyses see a big surge in storage needs.
Since India will thus be a key market of grid-scale energy storage, this review aims to give a holistic picture of the global energy storage industry and provide some insights into India’s growing investment and activity in the sector.
