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.
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).
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.
According to MoP estimates, India’s energy system will require 73.93GW/411.4GWh of storage capacity (including 26.69GW/175.18GWh of PSP and 47.24GW/236.22GWh of BESS) by 2031-2032 to complement 364GW of solar and 121GW of wind energy.
