What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited achieved a milestone of 1,000 MWh of battery-stored power, which is the first large-scale decentralized power supply of its kind in India. This stored energy comes from surplus solar power generated under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana 2.0. The system, which has a 500 MW capacity, is used to meet peak evening demand. This initiative is occurring amid intense heat waves in October, which were caused by El Nino and led to record-high electricity demand.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The battery storage system is proving beneficial during periods of increased electricity demand, which is exacerbated by drought conditions in Maharashtra. This achievement validates the use of solar energy and battery storage to provide a cost-effective power supply.
