In another report, the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) projects that the levelized cost of storage systems in India will reduce from $0.41 (~₹30.8)/kWh in 2018 to $0.17 (~₹12.8)/kWh in 2030. The report adopts a two-pronged approach to estimate the cost of Li-ion based MW scale battery storage systems in India.
By 2030, the LCOS for standalone BESS system would be Rs 4.1/kWh and that for co-located system would be Rs 3.8/kWh. This implies that adding diurnal flexibility to ~20-25% of the RE generation would cost an additional Rs 0.7-0.8/kWh by 2030. What is the value of energy storage in India? How would it be dispatched? How much storage is required?
Relative to the significant investment and policy focus on renewable energy generation and Electric Vehicles (EV) - both globally and in India - Stationary Energy Storage systems (ESS) have received far lower investment and policy attention. This is an important issue to redress for two key reasons.
The report further notes that capital costs for batteries co-located with storage projects in India would fall to $187 (~₹14,074))/kWh in 2020 and $92 (~₹6,924))/kWh in 2030. The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of standalone BESS is estimated to be ₹7.12/kWh (~$0.095/kWh) by 2020, ₹5.06/kWh (~$0.07/kWh) by 2025, and ₹4.12/kWh (~$0.06/kWh) by 2030.
Summary of India's energy storage policies and initiatives. India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) estimates the total BESS Potential in India for the period 2019–2022 as 178 GWh and by 2032 a total potential of 2706 GWh (ISGF, 2019).
According to a report published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a large number of energy storage projects are being built worldwide, and there is a significant interest among policymakers in India as well.
