This status report aims to present a snapshot of the current cost of energy storage in India for behind-the-meter (BtM) applications, and project them over the next 10 years to analyse when energy storage will start seeing significant adoption.
Unreliable grid supply drives consumers towards deploying power back-up solutions such as uninterrupted power systems and diesel generators. Solar plus energy storage becomes an increasingly attractive alternative as it can provide a degree of energy security and independence to the consumer.
The first phase of the Auroville Smart Mini Grid project is now complete. The project was conceived and driven by Auroville Consulting and includes 122 kW of distributed rooftop solar energy systems.
