Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration in India (StoREin)

India aims to integrate a total of 500 gigawatts of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030. With regard to this, the project supports the creation of favourable framework conditions for the introduction of various energy storage technologies and integrated solutions at the distribution grid level in India. Furthermore, it contributes to bringing the energy transition closer to the local level. In this way, decentralised solutions for the provision and use of renewable energies can make an important contribution to carbon neutrality. This is also particularly important given the fact that large-scale renewable energy projects are increasingly coming under criticism at the community level. At the same time, the project opens up a wide range of opportunities for local and regional stakeholders by promoting a climate change-adapted, economically viable and socially inclusive renewable energy industry.

State of implementation/results

The Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration in India (StoREin) project was kicked off at Ministry for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), beginning of March 2024. During the kick-off meeting the topics for three demonstration projects were outlined: (1) Aggregated behind the meter energy storage, centrally controlled by a DISCOM (distribution company); (2) Vehicle to Grid (V2G) battery storage; (3) New battery chemistries/technologies.
