Is India a leader in energy storage innovation?
The Stationary Energy Storage India (SESI) conference brought together 200+ global leaders, signaling robust policy, investment, and innovation momentum. With national and international collaboration, India is positioning itself not only as a leader in renewable energy deployment but also as a major force in energy storage innovation.
How is India advancing energy storage solutions?
At the heart of this momentum is the strategic push by the Government of India and various state authorities, backed by institutions like SECI, NTPC, and SJVN, to advance energy storage solutions. A landmark initiative includes the approval of Viability Gap Funding for 13,200 MWh of battery energy storage systems by -31.
Why are battery storage capacities increasing in India?
"Battery storage capacities have been increasing not just in the number of projects being set up, but also in the size of projects," said Debmalya Sen, president, India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA). Recent bids from Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra have shown 2 GWh and 4GWh capacities being shared under the new VGF scheme, Sen added.
