What is the evolution of utility scale ESS tenders in India?
The evolution of Utility Scale ESS tenders in India highlights the increasing focus and efforts of all stakeholders. In the past five years, the ESS tenders have been evolving with innovative and new age tenders such as RTC, Peak Power and now standalone ESS.
Why is SECI launching ESS tender a pilot project?
Current standalone ESS tenders, being the first large-scale tenders of such kind, can be a catalyst for the entire Indian ESS market. Successful and timely execution of these projects will boost investments into the ESS space and spur domestic manufacturing in this segment. SECI has deliberately declared its tender as a pilot project.
Is Bess a viable solution for ESS in India?
All the past major ESS tenders have directly or indirectly emphasised BESS as the most suitable technology for the ESS. However, CEA analysis reveals both BESS and PHS will be viable solutions for ESS in India. The government is realising the importance of alternate ESS technologies like PHS and is thus, formulating separate guidelines for PHS.
