Report Highlights Need for BESS Cost Decline

A recent report emphasizes the critical need for a faster decline in the cost of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to effectively limit India's coal capacity by 2032. As India continues to push towards renewable energy adoption, the affordability and scalability of BESS technology are seen as vital to supporting this transition.

The report outlines that without significant reductions in BESS costs, India's dependency on coal could persist, complicating efforts to meet environmental goals and transition to a more sustainable energy mix. BESS plays a pivotal role in stabilizing the electricity grid by storing energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind, thus ensuring a reliable power supply even when these sources are not producing electricity.

By reducing BESS costs, the integration of renewable energy into the grid can be accelerated, reducing the need for coal-fired power plants. The report suggests that achieving this cost decline will require concerted efforts from both the government and the private sector, including increased investments in technology development, manufacturing, and supportive policy frameworks.

The findings underscore the importance of strategic planning and innovation in energy storage to meet India's ambitious climate goals. A successful transition to a lower coal capacity by 2032 would not only contribute to global climate efforts but also enhance India's energy security and economic resilience.

This report serves as a call to action for stakeholders to prioritize the development and deployment of cost-effective BESS solutions, which are essential for enabling a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for India.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
