Energy Storage

India’s rising power demand is increasingly being met by renewables, particularly during daytime peak hours. However, rising renewable curtailment shows that grid infrastructure and flexibility are not keeping pace with clean energy growth. With stronger transmission networks, more flexible grid operations, and faster battery deployment, a larger share of evening and night-time demand can also be met through non-fossil sources.

A new briefing note by Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) finds that India’s imports of key energy transition minerals and their compounds are highly concentrated, underscoring significant supply risks and the importance of diversification to enhance supply security.

Advait Energy Transitions has incorporated three wholly owned subsidiaries focused on battery storage, carbon advisory, and power generation. The newly formed entities—Advait Battery Ecosystems, Advait Carbon Advisory & Renewables Assets, and Advait Unified Renewable Assets—expand the company’s presence across the clean energy value chain, from BESS manufacturing to carbon advisory and asset ownership.

AmpereHour Energy has partnered with Organo Eco Habitats to deploy a centralised battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Organo Antharam residential community in Hyderabad, marking a significant step in scaling integrated solar PV and storage at the community level. 

The two companies announced a 60 GWh supply agreement on Monday, marking a pivotal step in the commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited proposals to set up interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects for assured peak supply of 1,500 MWh (500 MW × 3 hours) under a Contract for Difference (CfD) mechanism.

Pace Digitek Ltd has partnered with NEC XON Systems, South Africa, to market, distribute and deploy its grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) and related energy solutions across South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia and Mauritius.

Enrich has secured a contract with NTPC Ltd for the implementation of a 290 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project at NTPC’s Simhadri Thermal Power Station in Andhra Pradesh.

The system integrates a battery, hybrid inverter, and home energy management system into a single device. It supports the integration of additional appliances, including heat pumps via SG-Ready interfaces. A connection to Tesla’s proprietary wallbox is also planned.

The company reported revenue from power supply of INR 11,602 crore in FY 2026, marking a 22% year-on-year increase. EBITDA from power supply rose 23% YoY to INR 10,865 crore—almost twice the annual EBITDA for FY23.
