News in brief from around the world in energy storage.

To integrate a targeted 500GW of non-fossil fuel energy onto India’s networks by 2030, at least 160GWh of energy storage will be needed.

SECI has launched a 500MW/1,000MWh pilot tender for standalone battery storage.

India will not be able to meet its aim of becoming a global leader in battery manufacturing unless it establishes a value chain that embraces recycling.

A pilot tender for 1,000MWh of battery storage is being readied for launch by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

India’s government will launch its first 1,000MW pilot tender to procure energy storage within a matter of weeks, Ministry of Power joint secretary Ghanshyam Prasad has said. 

As energy system modernisation and decarbonisation progresses, energy storage could represent between 10% and 25% of India’s total installed power capacity by 2050, while other countries in South Asia including Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan also have “significant opportunities” for energy storage.

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has said that it will launch a tender for 2,000MWh of standalone energy storage systems (ESS).

Eos Energy Enterprises, the NASDAQ-listed designer and manufacturer of energy storage systems based on the company’s aqueous zinc battery technology, has announced three large-scale projects in the US and India.
