6 FAQs about [India s energy storage planning]

How will India's energy storage capacity change in 2031-32?

India's energy storage capacity is expected to shoot up 12-fold to around 60 GW by 2031-32 which would play a key role in stabilising the power grid as the country transitions to renewable energy, according to an SBI Research report.

Can energy storage be integrated into India's energy infrastructure?

Consolidating insights from multiple sectors, including renewable energy, automotive, and grid operators, the report advocates for sustainable production practices and policy support for effectively integrating energy storage into India’s energy infrastructure.

How much energy storage does India need?

The amount of energy storage India requires to attain those goals could be far higher than previous forecasts and predictions had hinted at. Previously, the country’s Central Electricity Authority (CEA) had modelled a need for about 28GW/108GWh of energy storage by 2030 to support that 500GW goal, which includes 450GW of wind and solar PV.

Will India increase energy storage capacity by fy32?

India is set for a substantial expansion in energy storage capacity, with projections suggesting a 12-fold increase to approximately 60 GW by FY32, according to an SBI report. This growth will outpace the anticipated renewable energy (RE) generation rise.

How much energy storage will India need by 2030?

Previously, the country’s Central Electricity Authority (CEA) had modelled a need for about 28GW/108GWh of energy storage by 2030 to support that 500GW goal, which includes 450GW of wind and solar PV. That was a more conservative estimate than the ‘160GWh or more’ that trade group India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) had analysed a need for.
