Cabinet approves 92 GWh energy storage scheme to boost solar power use

India

  • Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the Cabinet approved a 92 GWh grid-scale energy storage scheme.
  • Storage lets solar energy power homes at night while maximizing the capacity of existing transmission lines.
  • Of the 92 GWh, 60 GWh uses surplus power to pump water uphill, releasing it later for night electricity.
  • The Cabinet also cleared separate schemes for processing twenty-four critical minerals and upgrading statistical systems.
