National energy storage policy standard summary table

What's new in energy storage safety?

Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.

What is the energy storage capacity requirement in 2026-27?

As per NEP2023 the energy storage capacity requirement is projected to be 16.13 GW (7.45 GW PSP and 8.68 GW BESS) in year 2026-27, with a storage capacity of 82.32 GWh (47.6 GWh from PSP and 34.72 GWh from BESS).

What is the legal status of energy storage systems (ESS)?

Legal Status to ESS 5.1.1. The Electricity (Amendment) Rules, 2022 provide that the Energy Storage Systems shall be considered as a part of the power system, as defined under clause (50) of section 2 of the Act. 5.1.2.

How big is energy storage in the US?

In 2013, the cumulative energy storage deployment in the US was 24.6 GW, with pumped hydro representing 95% of deployments.1 Utility-scale battery storage was about 200 MW at the end of 2013, about 9 GW at the end of 2022, and is expected to reach 30 GW by the end of 2025 (Figure 1).2 Most new energy storage deployments are now Li-ion batteries.

How much energy storage is needed In 2047?

3.3. CEA has projected that by the year 2047, the requirement of energy storage is expected to increase to 320 GW (90GW PSP and 230 GW BESS) with a storage capacity of 2,380 GWh (540 GWh from PSP and 1,840 GWh from BESS) due to the addition of a larger amount of renewable energy in light of the net zero emissions targets set for 2070.

How to maintain quality and standards for battery energy storage systems?

6.10.1. In order to maintain quality and standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems, the Central Government may consider issuing an "Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for BESS" for power sector applications, similar to the list of ALMM for Solar Photovoltaic Modules issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
