Solar and wind power supply fluctuates, Energy storage systems (ESS) play a crucial role in smoothening out this intermittency and enabling a continuous supply of energy when needed. Thus, for sustainable renewable energy
Roadmap is presented below:As an outcome of this detailed study we have prepared an Energy Storage System (ESS) Roadmap for India for the period 2019-2032 that will help policy makers and utilities in decision making related to investments in energy storage for integration of renewable energy leading to a reliable
The latest ESS tenders issued by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and NTPC are the first in India to combine standalone ESS with on-demand use. These two standalone ESS tenders, by SECI and NTPC, have a cumulative storage capacity of 1 GW or 4 GWh. Thus, if executed well, these projects will augment Indian ESS capacity multifold.
come online in 2025. Budget 2025 should provide the required push in the form of incentives and tax breaks to foster faster implementation of ESS to keep up with the capacity ramp up of RES in order to truly meet the Net Zero target of India. (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer.
ESS deployment is increasing globally. As per the US Department of Energy, almost 177 GW of energy storage systems were installed at the grid level till mid-2018, and over 95 per cent of them were pumped hydro storage plants. Over 14 GW of new pumped storage projects were announced across the world in 2018.
In the first quarter of 2025, Standalone ESS tenders reached 6.1 gigawatts (GW), which accounted for 64% of all utility-scale energy storage tenders, which included all other use cases of ESS such as Standalone ESS, renewable energy + ESS, and Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE).
Given that ESS technology is in its infancy in India, the current tenders face several technical, procurement, and regulatory challenges. However, the two tenders will act as pilot projects for policymakers and fast-track the evolution of future tenders.
