India’s Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd and state-owned ONGC have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore BESS market opportunities.

The partners signed the agreement at this week’s India Energy Week 2025 event in New Delhi, in the presence of Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri.

Tata and ONGC will explore commercial opportunities from utility-scale BESS, grid ancillary services, renewable energy integration, microgrids, commercial and industrial energy storage, backup power provision, stored-energy trading, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and clean energy sites hybridized with energy storage.

Steelmaker Tata’s clean energy division recently commissioned a 100 MW solar plant with a 120 MWh BESS at Rajnandgaon, in Chhattisgarh.

When will there be nationwide financing solutions for battery storage systems in Germany? The use of battery storage systems is essential for the success of the energy transition and the best possible use of renewable energies, but also for being able to temporarily store surplus energy from other sources. Technically, there are already solutions for all possible sizes of battery storage systems, from private home storage systems to large-scale storage systems with a capacity of more than 50 MWh. But what about the financing of battery storage systems, is it already offered as standard?

Battery storage for Germany’s energy transition: Unlocking untapped potential Germany's energy transition is making significant progress: In the first half of 2024, the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix rose to 57 %. This new influx of renewable energy is pushing the power grid to its limits. Battery energy storage systems and an optimized redispatch procedure could play a key role in improving the integration of renewables and alleviating grid congestion. However, some hurdles still need to be overcome, according to Benedikt Deuchert of Kyon Energy.
