Why now
- Battery storage costs have recently declined to levels enabling large-scale solar integration.
- India's electricity demand exceeded 2,000 TWh in 2024, highlighting urgent energy transition needs.
- New modeling quantifies the scale and cost of solar-plus-storage deployment needed for India.
Why it matters
- Affordable battery storage can unlock India's vast solar potential, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Meeting 90% of power demand with solar-plus-storage supports India's clean energy and climate goals.
- Cost-effective solar-plus-storage can enhance energy security and grid stability in India.
