India's First Battery Storage Gigafactory to Start Operations in J&K
GoodEnough Energy has announced that it will start operations at India’s first battery energy storage gigafactory in the northern region of Jammu and Kashmir by October 2023.
According to GoodEnough, the facility will help industries cut more than 5 million tons of carbon emissions in a year. India has set a goal to become net zero by 2070.
Battery energy storage projects are crucial for India’s ambitious plan to expand its renewable energy capacity to 500 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, up from the current 178 GW.
The Indian government is offering incentives worth $452 million to companies under a program to promote battery storage projects.
Battery storage systems enable the storage of energy from solar, wind, and other renewable sources. This stored energy can be released when needed, making renewable energy more reliable and consistent.
The establishment of India’s first battery storage gigafactory is a significant step towards meeting the country’s renewable energy targets and reducing its carbon footprint. The facility’s operations in Jammu and Kashmir will play a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the renewable energy sector in India.
