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 Project Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration in India (StoREin) was kicked off by Joint Secretary Jagdale from Ministry for New and Renewable Energy beginning of March 2024. The first 3 demonstration projects were defined:
    • Multiple battery energy storage behind the meter, centrally controlled by the distribution company, to allow the combination of additional use cases of the energy storage at the same time;
    • Vehicle to grid battery storage;
    • Evaluation of future battery technologies with a potential to become more viable and environmentally friendly. This demo projects are planned to be implemented in the eastern states of India.
