Introduction: The Ever-Changing Cost of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a game-changer in renewable energy.
Currently, the cost of battery-based energy storage in India is INR 10.18/kWh, as discovered in a SECI auction for 500 MW/1000 MWh BESS. The government has launched viability gap funding and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes to make battery storage affordable.
The report further notes that capital costs for batteries co-located with storage projects in India would fall to $187 (~₹14,074))/kWh in 2020 and $92 (~₹6,924))/kWh in 2030. The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of standalone BESS is estimated to be ₹7.12/kWh (~$0.095/kWh) by 2020, ₹5.06/kWh (~$0.07/kWh) by 2025, and ₹4.12/kWh (~$0.06/kWh) by 2030.
In India, the cost of solar battery storage systems varies a lot. A typical residential setup costs between ₹25,000 to ₹35,000. The price depends on several factors like the size and type of battery, brand, and where you live. Usually, lithium-ion batteries cost more but last longer than lead-acid ones.
(PPA) prices and bottom-up cost analyses of standalone batteries and solar PV-plus-storage systems. Scaling unsubsidized U.S. PV-plus-storage PPA prices to India, accounting for India’s higher financing costs, they estimate PPA prices of Rs. 3.0–3.5/kWh (4.3–5¢/kWh) for about 13% of PV energy stored in the battery and installation years 2021–20
Battery energy storage system based on low-cost lithium-ion batteries can enable India to meet the morning and evening peak demands. The Government of India (GoI) has set a target of achieving 175 GW of renewable power installed capacity by December 2022.
The minister told that to make battery storage affordable, the government has approved a viability gap funding scheme for setting up 4 GWh of BESS. The Scheme provides VGF up to 40% of the capital cost for BESS, which will bring down the cost of electricity from BESS.
