FAQs 6

Does India need a solar energy storage system?

India’s Ministry of Power has mandated all renewable energy implementing agencies and state utilities must incorporate a minimum of two-hour co-located energy storage systems (ESS), equivalent to 10% of the installed solar project capacity, in future solar tenders. From pv magazine India

Does India need ESS for solar power tenders?

India’s Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued a significant regulatory update requiring all new solar photovoltaic (PV) power tender projects to be equipped with at least 2 hours of co-located energy storage systems (ESS), with a capacity of 10% of the installed solar project capacity.

How much energy storage will India have by 2030?

The MoP anticipates that, due to this new storage clause, about 14GW/28GWh of energy storage systems will be installed in India by 2030. As the price of energy storage batteries declines, it is expected to help reduce evening power purchase costs, when solar power is unavailable and energy prices in the power trading market are higher.

What is India's energy storage capacity?

As of December 31, 2024, India’s installed energy storage capacity was 4.86GW, of which 4.75GW was pumped storage power (PSP) and 0.11GW was battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Which energy storage technology is included in India's national electricity plan?

Electrochemical energy storage technology, represented by Li-ion battery, is included in India’s National Electricity Plan for 2022-2032. By the fiscal year of 2031-2032, electrochemical storage will surpass PSH, making it the dominant energy storage technology.

What is India's PV demand?

As one of the world's top five PV markets, India's PV demand is experiencing substantial growth driven by supportive policies and massive power needs. 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.
