India Needs Advanced BESS Ecosystem with 238 GWh of Capacity, Say Experts
Experts at the 4th Edition of the International Conference on Stationary Energy Storage India (SESI) 2024 emphasised on the rising penetration of renewables in the energy mix.
March 22, 2024. By Anurima Mondal
Over 250 industry leaders and government officials from various countries participated and discussed the future roadmap.
“From capacity expansion to being a global investor-friendly destination in the segment, India has achieved a lot in less than a decade. Our existing 190+ GW of non-fossil-based capacity is a testament to this growth story. At one end we are trying to get more and more solar and wind into the grid, but also we are bringing in a lot of other energy mix. The flavour is changing and the flavour now requires much effort from the manufacturing side. And that's where MNRE's role is now coming into play. We do need good best practices followed in the manufacturing industry. We do need advanced chemistry cells for stationary storage applications to be manufactured in India.” says Dinesh Jagdale, Joint Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Addressing the need for an integrated policy for storage systems, Rajnath Ram, Adviser (Energy), NITI Aayog adds, “Today’s storage Infrastructure is capable of storing energy but we need to figure out ways to store more energy as and when the demand and energy generation increases. Let’s imagine that we have about 1800 gigawatt per hour energy demand by 2047, then we need to expand on the energy storage systems as well. We need to have a very integrated policy for building the storage system within the country.”
Key participants include MNRE, MoP, MEITY, DST, CEA, SECI, NTPC, GEAPP, World Economic Forum, Department of science & Technology, World Bank, Good Enough Energy, SMA, Envision Energy, Ampyr Energy, DCM Container, Maestrotech System, GIZ, Government of Australia and others.
