Questions about storage in India
What is the largest energy storage project in India?+
The largest operating energy storage project on record in India is Pinnapuram hydroelectric plant at 1,680 MW, developed by Greenko Energies Pvt Ltd. Ranked by the capacity figure in the public source named on the record, whole project rather than any partner's share.
What is the largest energy storage project planned in India?+
UP01 hydroelectric plant at 3,660 MW, at concept stage. Of the 109.5 GW of storage on record for India, 7.4 GW is operating; the rest is announced or being built.
How many energy storage projects does India have?+
Solandor holds 86 storage records for India with a stated capacity, 10 of them operating. That is the public record from the datasets named on each row, not a census: small plants below tracker thresholds are missing from the sources and so from here.
Also in India: largest solar plants, largest hydropower plants, largest wind farms, largest nuclear power plants, largest bioenergy plants.
Largest energy storage projects elsewhere: Philippines.
