The primary building block comprises a 2 MW / 10 MWh flow battery (five-hour storage) which can be combined to deliver projects of >100MWh capacity. For large projects, the per acre installed capacity will be about 200 MWh. The first MWh scale installation based on this product architecture will be deployed in India in H1 2025.
Delectrik, headquartered in India with an overseas subsidiary in Australia, has built and deployed flow batteries from small 10 kWh to containerised MWh scale systems. The existing containerised solution is suitable for C&I applications of sub 10 MWh capacity. Now with the new product the company aims to address the large-scale C&I and utility scale applications which are rapidly emerging.
Vishal Mittal, Delectrik founder and CEO stated, “Delectrik has primarily been focused on building overseas markets with current exports to nine countries across five continents. As volumes grow the company will look to establish manufacturing/assembly hubs in key regions to serve the local market. With this intent we have established our first overseas subsidiary company in Australia. We want to make sure just like we are ‘making in India‘ for India, we can do the same in key markets globally. In addition to continue expanding in these markets the company will lay a greater emphasis on scaling the domestic Indian market especially based on its large-scale flow battery solution.”
“In addition to outright selling the batteries the company is looking to offer Energy Storage on Opex model via its subsidiary Delectrik Esaas Pvt. Ltd. Currently, organisations can meet only a part of their energy requirements with renewable electricity. With addition of storage, it allows them to transition almost entirely to green energy while increased savings on the energy bill. The PV plus flow battery LCOE is already lower than electricity tariff paid by C&I consumers in quite a few regions.”
As per the National Electricity Plan notification (NEP 2023), India’s domestic stationary BESS requirement is 411 GWh by 2031-32. This presents a massive opportunity for deploying low cost, long duration and long-life BESS such as Delectrik’s Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries.
