Get a quoteImage: Alok Sharma via Twitter. India’s government has added an Energy Storage Obligation alongside its Renewable Purchase Obligation for the first time. Meanwhile, a government thinktank has predicted around 180GWh of demand for batteries for stationary energy storage systems (ESS) by 2030.
If Indian policymakers want to broaden the role of energy storage in the power system, an important first step is to include energy storage in national energy policies and programs.
India’s energy storage requirement, which is projected to be 60.6 GW/341.2 GWh by 20302, can either be met by Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) or Pumped Storage Projects (PSP). In the FY 2024-25 union budget speech, the finance minister signalled that an energy storage policy would be issued to promote the construction of PSPs in the country3.
The Ministry of Power and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy are the key ministries handling energy storage. NITI Aayog is the premier policy ‘Think Tank’ of the Government of India, providing directional and policy inputs.
