The biggest battery energy storage system (BESS) in mainland France went into operation in late January, and will provide grid-balancing services to national transmission system operator RTE. France-headquartered multinational energy company Total was contracted by RTE for the project, which has 25MWac rated output and 25MWh of storage capacity. It has been built at the […]
Battery storage cheaper than new coal power plants in TN: Analysis finds
A new economic viability analysis on Friday revealed that renewable energy along with battery storage in Tamil Nadu is cost competitive with new coal power plants. The report finds the levelized cost of energy for a hypothetical hybrid, solar, wind and li-ion battery storage system for the state to be Rs 4.97/kWh in 2021, which […]

We are looking at both green hydrogen and battery storage: Mohit Bhargava, executive director, NTPC
NTPC has set a 32-gigawatt renewable energy capacity target by 2032 New Delhi : State-owned NTPC is looking at green hydrogen and battery storage to drive energy transition and is moving away from coal-based projects, said its Executive Director, Mohit Bhargava. NTPC has set a 32-gigawatt (GW) renewable energy (RE) capacity target by 2032, which […]
Can battery storage propel energy transition for India?
With no facility to store electricity as of now, the electricity produced in the power plants and fed into the grid should ideally be the same as the electricity consumed, otherwise it causes an imbalance in frequency for grid equilibrium. One of the solutions for a balanced grid is energy storage batteries. When the energy […]

Opportunities develop for battery storage ‘despite the turmoil caused by COVID-19’, IHS Markit says
The market for grid-connected energy storage will defy the “headwinds” caused by the coronavirus pandemic on industries across the world, analysis firm IHS Markit has predicted. The team at the IHS Markit Energy Storage Service has forecast that global installations will grow by over 5GW this year, despite disruption caused by COVID-19. Battery energy storage […]
40GW of battery storage and longer durations could help smash UK net zero targets
More electricity storage and longer durations of storage will be needed for the UK to meet net zero targets, according to electricity system operator National Grid ESO’s latest modelling. Electricity storage deployment increased in all four of its decarbonisation scenarios, which were outlined in National Grid ESO’s annual ‘Future Energy Scenarios’ document exploring pathways from […]
