What does Bess stand for?The government ministry announced the plan this morning. It aims to procure 540MW of grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) technology to help resolve power grid shortages and control the output of power plants.
How long will a Bess project take?The forthcoming tender will allow for BESS project bids of 4-hour to 6-hour duration, equating to up to 3,000MWh of storage capacity for the mainland and 240MWh on Jeju Island.
Will 30 GWh of Bess be able to attract 33,000 crore investment?At a media interaction on achievements of the government in the last 11 years, Power Minister Manohar Lal said that the Ministry has approved a VGF scheme for 30 GWh of BESS, in addition to the 13.2 GWh already underway. This ₹5,400 crore scheme aims to attract ₹33,000 crore investment, meeting India’s BESS requirement by 2028.
Is South Korea a Bess supplier?South Korea is also a major exporter of batteries and energy storage technologies, with Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution among significant suppliers of products from cells to complete BESS solutions internationally. According to the newest Basic Plan, the country aims to capture a 30% share of the global BESS market by 2036.
How many MW of Bess will be installed on Jeju Island?The capacity will be split between 500MW of large-scale BESS on the Korean mainland and 40MW of the technology on Jeju Island, a popular destination for domestic and international tourists.
What factors should be considered when funding a Bess project?The critical variables which lenders may consider while funding BESS projects include the presence of a firm PPA/PSA agreement from a credible DISCOM (and its shortfall in ESO/RPO target), project model (co-location/standalone), and cell technology in
