Mumbai, 7th April, 2025 – Tata Power, India's largest integrated power company and a trusted electricity provider to approx. 8 lakh residential and commercial consumers, has received approval from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to install a 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Mumbai over the next two years.
• need to quote tariff in terms of INR/Unit for providing power supply throughout the day. • quote bid in form of capacity charge i.e., INR/MW in terms of monthly or annual basis as per applicable case. The investment landscape for battery energy storage projects in India has gained momentum in recent years.
In February, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) commissioned India's largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), powered by solar energy.
The investment landscape for battery energy storage projects in India has gained momentum in recent years. Incorporating renewable energy sources, maintaining grid stability, and addressing peak demand challenges are all made possible by BESS. Some key aspects of the investment landscape for energy storage projects in India are mentioned below.
Grid Integration and Regulations: India has set ambitious targets for implementing renewable energy, particularly solar and wind power. Battery energy storage devices are critical for integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid, regulating unpredictability, and assuring grid stability.
This is where Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) come in. They can help smooth out the fluctuating nature of renewable sources. Consumers (both industrial and residential) also benefit through lower peak energy costs, reduced carbon footprints, and consistent power supply.
