Battery storage systems can boost farm power reliability, says expert

Bringing battery energy storage systems closer to farms, cooperatives, and rural enterprises is critical for India's agricultural future, according to energy experts. Such systems can help address power reliability challenges that affect irrigation and farm operations across the country.

Storage solutions deployed at the farm level would enable better management of energy supply, reduce dependence on grid fluctuations, and support sustainable agricultural practices. The approach aims to build a more resilient and productive farming sector while addressing energy access issues in rural areas.
