How much will Bess cost in -26?
The disbursement of funds will extend up to -31 in 5 tranches. The cost of BESS system is anticipated to be in the range of ₹ 2.40 to ₹ 2.20 Crore/MWh during the period -26 for development of BESS capacity of 4,000 MWh, which translates into Capital Cost of ₹ 9,400 Crores with a Budget support of ₹ 3,760 Crores.
What happens if Bess costs decline?
In case BESS costs decline more rapidly, the LCO pathway shifts and coal generation starts declining in absolute terms, reflecting a more accelerated phase-down. To limit coal power capacity to the NEP14 projection of approximately 260 GW in the LCO pathway, BESS costs must decline by 15% annually.
