Energy Storage

Saatvik Green Energy has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Saatvik Power Storage Solutions. The newly formed entity will focus on the development and deployment of battery energy storage systems for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, residential and distributed renewable energy applications.

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE institute developed PowerRange, a virtual simulation platform that helps power grid operators safely test cybersecurity measures and respond to realistic cyberattacks. The platform supports both traditional and renewable grids, offering immersive training across IT, OT, and control systems while highlighting the importance of coordination, communication, and practical defense strategies.

ACME Solar Holdings has commissioned 142.67 MW/481.49 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Indian state of Rajasthan through its subsidiaries. The installation represents Phase 1 of its planned 585 MW/2,011.24 MWh BESS capacity under these special purpose vehicles.

The new prototype ranks among the most advanced sodium‑ion battery systems reported worldwide.

PowerHive, the battery and energy storage arm of Vikram Solar, has launched its VION lithium battery product range, marking the company’s entry into distributed battery storage for electric mobility and residential energy backup.

Ashok Leyland, a Hinduja Group-owned commercial vehicle manufacturer, has begun the construction of a greenfield EV battery pack manufacturing facility at Pillaipakkam near Chennai. The project would entail an investment of INR 400-500 crore.

China has deployed its first 1.25 MW urban vanadium flow battery (VFB), supporting peak AC loads and offering a safer alternative amid tighter lithium-ion storage regulations in dense urban environments.

Under the PPAs, ACME Solar Holdings will supply 1,800 MWh of assured peak power (450 MW × 4 hours) during non-solar hours from interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects in India, with 90% availability on both a monthly and annual basis.

Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited bids from developers to set up renewable energy projects on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis to supply 1 GW of power on a round-the-clock (RTC) basis. Energy storage systems (ESS) will be a mandatory component of the projects.

NavPrakriti, a Kolkata-headquartered lithium-ion battery recycler, has entered into a strategic partnership with NASH Energy, a NASH Group company focused on advanced battery manufacturing and energy storage solutions, to ensure responsible end-of-life management of all batteries produced by NASH Energy, including production scrap.
