A 20-MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) was inaugurated in Kilokari, South Delhi, making it the largest utility-scale energy storage system in South Asia. This project marks a major advancement in India’s renewable energy infrastructure, being the first commercially approved energy storage system in the country. BESS plays a crucial role in enhancing energy reliability by storing power generated from renewable sources like solar and wind for later use. The system supports Delhi’s efforts toward clean energy and grid stability, setting a precedent for similar projects across India and the broader South Asian region.
