Technical FAQs 4

Will co-located energy storage systems be included in solar tenders?

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has asked state power utilities and renewable energy implementation agencies to incorporate two-hour co-located energy storage systems, equivalent to 10% of the installed solar project capacity, in future solar tenders.

Why are solar power projects integrating energy storage systems?

Photographer: Prashanth Vishwanathan/Bloomberg New Delhi: Upcoming solar power projects in the country are set to have energy storage systems integrated at the sites to ensure uninterrupted supply of renewable power and maintain grid stability.

What is the installed capacity of energy storage system (ESS)?

The MoP advisory said the installed capacity of ESS as of December 2024 is 4.86 GW, which includes 4.75 GW of pumped storage projects and 0.11 GW of battery energy storage system projects.

Should Reias mandate two-hour solar storage?

In an advisory to REIAs, state governments, and generating stations, MoP said distribution licensees could also consider mandating two-hour storage with rooftop solar installations. If the proposed mandates are implemented, the government expects approximately 14 GW/28 GWh of storage to be installed by 2030.
