Solar and storage: Building a more resilient and secure energy system

The battery energy storage system (BESS) solution for a manufacturing plant may look different from what it is for data centre, a renewable energy project or a grid-scale application. The industry will therefore need to move towards more application-specific thinking. Engineering, system design and lifecycle economics will become increasingly important as storage moves from early adoption into larger-scale deployment.

Why energy security and mineral security can no longer be discussed separately

The energy transition is one of the most significant economic transformations India has undertaken in recent decades. Achieving these ambitions will require more than adding renewable energy capacity or increasing electric vehicle adoption. It will require securing the materials that make these technologies possible in the first place.

The next infrastructure bottleneck is not investment. It is execution

The infrastructure cycle ahead will ultimately be defined by more than the capital deployed. For data centres, it is about creating resilient digital capacity; for renewable energy, connecting generation effectively to the grid; for BESS, converting awarded capacity into dependable storage; and for green hydrogen, integrating multiple technologies into commercially viable projects.
