According to the National Energy Plan (NEP) 2023, India aims to achieve a PV installed capacity of 186 GW by 2026-2027 and to reach 365 GW by 2032. Such a vast PV generation capacity will require corresponding energy storage systems to maintain grid stability, making storage technology a crucial element in the current energy transition.
As compared to the conventional sources of energy, solar PV when integrated with battery storage is a cost-competitive option. This trend is expected to continue in India. India's commitment to a sustainable energy future is evident through its multifaceted approach to battery energy storage.
However, the viability of the energy storage system ecosystem remains pegged to the capital cost of the BESS. As compared to the conventional sources of energy, solar PV when integrated with battery storage is a cost-competitive option. This trend is expected to continue in India.
At present, to support the country's energy target by 2030 and simultaneously, balance the grid with the rising penetration of renewables in the energy mix, India requires an advanced battery storage ecosystem with over 238 GWh of capacity. However, the viability of the energy storage system ecosystem remains pegged to the capital cost of the BESS.
Graph 1 shows the journey of solar PV plus BESS development in India, highlighting why 2024 has witnessed a rise of this combination of technologies in India’s battery storage journey. The use cases for such tenders have been peak management, diesel generator offset and overall renewable energy integration.
