Delhi Unveils South Asia''s Largest 20-MW Battery Energy Storage
New Delhi: Delhi power minister Ashish Sood on Thursday inaugurated a 20-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at Kilokari, said to be the "largest" in South Asia.
Great efforts have been made by India to build better energy storage systems. ESS, such as supercapacitors and batteries are the key elements for energy structure evolution. These devices have attracted enormous attention due to their potential applications in future electric vehicles, smart electric grids, etc.

This commercially approved system will enhance power supply for over one lakh South Delhi residents. The BESS, utilizing Lithium Iron Phosphate technology, ensures reliable power, grid stability, and optimized costs, marking a new standard for urban energy management.
The power minister said that the govt would deploy this new technology in Delhi and ensure the required investment for the same. "Entrepreneurs keen to work in the solar energy sector will also be supported with necessary facilities to help ensure continuous and sustainable power supply.
