Energy Storage

The new pan-European digital platform is designed to enhance transparency and improve access to information on the hosting capacity of European electricity grids, including both transmission and distribution networks.

Large Indian corporations are no longer adopting renewable energy solely to strengthen ESG positioning. Increasingly, renewable procurement is being driven by commercial considerations: lower long-term electricity costs, reduced exposure to fossil fuel volatility, and improving competitiveness in global markets that are rapidly introducing carbon-linked trade frameworks.

Amara Raja Energy & Mobility has reported a revenue of INR 3,460 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26, 16% up year-on-year. Profit before tax (PBT) stood at INR 433 crore, compared to INR 224 crore in Q4 FY 2025.

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, including 1.37 GWh added in March 2026. The company said this is the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and among the fastest executed globally.

Under the PPA, ACME Solar will supply four hours of assured peak power during non-solar hours with minimum annual availability requirement of 85%.

The measure raises the import tariff from 18% to 25% for 48V LFP batteries intended for stationary applications in telecommunications and photovoltaic systems of up to 4.8 kW until May 2027, following a request from the domestic industry via LETEC. For other batteries classified as lithium-ion electric accumulators, the reduced rate of 18% remains.

The future of energy is not merely renewable – it is intelligent, flexible, and resilient. This requires investment not only in generation assets, but also in transmission corridors, reactive compensation systems, digital controls, automation, and dependable high-voltage equipment.

JSW Steel Ltd, Bharatia and Carbon Iceland International will jointly explore the development of a large-scale green methanol (e-methanol) project in India. The proposed 300 ktpa project aims to utilise CO₂ emissions from JSW Steel’s operations in district Raigad, Maharashtra, and convert them into eMethanol using green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources.

The battery supports 1,000 W input and 800 W output, is compatible with most balcony PV systems, and can be optionally app-controlled via a dedicated app.

Rajasthan could save about INR 5,500 crore annually and up to INR 57,000 crore over a decade by avoiding new coal-based power generation and adopting solar power + battery storage, resulting in lower power costs, according to a new report by Climate Risk Horizons.
