Overview of the off-grid energy storage market in India
Technavio's market study identifies the need for electrification to be one of the primary growth factors for the off-grid energy storage market in India. Electricity consumption is imperative for economic growth, driving infrastructure and social development. Majority of the population residing in developing countries and rural area lack access to grid power, that impacts the economic growth of the country. Grid extension has high operational cost and demands for high investment. Consequently, remote locations are utilizing limited grid connectivity in addition to, diesel generators and energy storage systems. The market analysts estimate that the market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 15% by 2021.
The cost of diesel is higher in remote locations due to the added high cost of transportation, that additionally influences the cost of electricity. Burning diesel also emits noisy carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology produces clean and renewable solar power that creates minimal noise while under operation. The operating time of diesel generators can be reduced significantly by hybridizing power systems, whihc will consequently reduce CO2 emissions. Our market research analysts predict that the rising need for reducing CO2 emissions will be one of the key trends that will gain tractiion in the off-grid energy storage market in India during the next few years.
