BESS becoming the backbone of power capacity additions
India is undergoing a rapid clean energy revolution, aiming to deploy 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, of which it has already reached 250 GW. The country has pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030, relative to 2005 levels. The incorporation of a significant amount of variable and intermittent renewable energy into the energy mix presents a challenge for maintaining grid stability and an uninterrupted power supply. The challenge with renewable energy sources arises from their varying nature over time, climate, seasons, or geographic location.

Sustainable energy management is a collective responsibility
Sustainable energy management is fundamentally a partnership between the public, the private sector, and the government. We are acutely aware of the enormous challenges Earth faces due to climate change, including rising temperatures, increased emissions, melting glaciers, and frequent cyclones. To mitigate a problem of this magnitude, an equally strong, collective effort is required. Mitigation is only possible through mass participation. Sustainable energy management is everyone's responsibility; the transition to green energy is an essential investment for our future, and no one can afford to stay aloof.
