The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has unveiled transformative Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) regulations that position the state as India's energy storage capital. PURE ENERGY applauds this progressive policy release, recognizing it as a game-changer for the renewable energy sector and grid modernization across India.
Key Policy Highlights:
Ambitious Target: 25 GWh BESS capacity addition under the state's Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024
Multiple Ownership Models: Distribution licensees, IPPs, renewable developers, and third-party investors can deploy BESS
Flexible Deployment Options: Co-located with renewables, standalone grid-connected, behind-the-meter, and EV integration
Minimum Project Size: 1MW power rating with 2-hour energy storage for grid-connected systems
Ancillary Services Market: BESS can provide frequency regulation, spinning reserves, voltage support, and black-start services
Aggregator Framework: Enables distributed energy resource aggregation for enhanced market participation
Consumer-Friendly: Behind-the-meter BESS installation without prior permission requirements
Competitive Procurement: Transparent tariff-based bidding for all BESS capacity procurement
This comprehensive framework will accelerate BESS adoption across commercial, industrial, and residential segments while creating new revenue streams through ancillary services. The regulation's emphasis on grid stability, renewable integration, and distributed storage solutions marks a paradigm shift toward India's clean energy future.
