Discoms, state govts bet on storage technology to stabilise power supply

TPDDL, in 2019, joined hands with AES and Mitsubishi to set up a 10 Mw grid storage project at its Rohini sub-station

To bring about reliable power supply amid increased use of renewable energy, discoms and state governments are investing in storage technologies.

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Company (TPDDL), one of the power distribution companies (discoms) in Delhi, for instance, recently inaugurated a ‘community energy storage system’ in collaboration with Nexcharge.

The project entails setting up a 150 Kw battery storage system at the Ranibagh sub-station of the company in north Delhi.

Though small in size, the project signifies a paradigm shift in the planning of power suppliers.
