印度将很快要求各邦电力公司增加储能容量，此举旨在帮助该国在迅速扩大清洁能源发电的同时，将多余的清洁电力储存起来，供晚间用电高峰时段使用。
India to mandate energy storage for state utilities By Sethuraman N R NEW DELHI, Nov 5 - India will soon require state utilities to add energy storage capacity, a move aimed at helping the country save surplus clean power for use during evening peak demand as it rapidly expands clean energy generation.
目前，各邦电力公司没有电池储能设施来存储购买的多余电力。今年用电需求旺盛，这导致全国在晚间和夜间出现电力短缺。
Currently, state utilities do not have battery storage to save the surplus energy they buy. With demand high this year, that has led to power shortages across the country during the evening and night.
印度电力秘书潘卡杰·阿加瓦尔在印度可再生能源峰会上作出上述宣布，并表示更多与储能相关的清洁能源招标正在筹备中。
India's power secretary, Pankaj Agarwal, made the announcement at the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit, adding that more clean energy tenders related to energy storage were in the works.
他未透露电力公司将被要求配置多少储能容量的具体细节，并称情况仍在变化中。
He did not give any specifics on how much energy storage utilities will be required to have, adding that the situation was fluid.
由于缺乏电池储能，尽管印度拥有超过300吉瓦的非化石能源发电装机容量，但该国不得不燃烧更多煤炭来满足晚间和夜间的用电需求。今年，受厄尔尼诺天气模式导致降雨减少影响，水电发电量也有所滞后。
The lack of battery storage has meant that India has burned more coal to generate power for the evening and night power demand despite having over 300 GW of non-fossil power generation capacity. This year, hydropower generation has also lagged due to lower rainfall from the El Nino weather pattern.
印度周三还单独宣布了一项1450亿卢比（约合15亿美元）的计划，用于开发储能项目，该计划主要面向发电企业。
India on Wednesday separately announced a 145 billion rupee ($1.5 billion) programme to develop energy storage projects that is primarily aimed at power producers.
政府还计划从2027年7月起，强制要求所有新建政府光伏和风电项目配置电池储能。
The government is also planning to mandate battery storage for all new government solar and wind projects from July 2027.
