In a significant boost to India's renewable energy ambitions, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has awarded contracts for 1,200 MW of solar power capacity integrated with 600 MW/3,600 MWh (3.6 GWh) of energy storage in its Tranche XXI auction. French energy giant ENGIE, state-owned NLC India Renewables, Rays Power Infra (through RPIL Power Three), and Oriana Power emerged as the key winners, underscoring the growing competitiveness of hybrid solar-storage projects

A new analysis from Ember reveals that utility-scale battery storage has entered a new era of affordability, with capital expenditure (capex) for long-duration Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) now averaging $125/kWh  outside China and the United States. This translates into a Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) of just $65/MWh , reshaping the economics of dispatchable renewable energy. Sharp Decline in Costs According to auction results in Saudi Arabia, Italy, and India , a
